Teen actors and all upper level performers, Ms. Danielle has a message for you today, and she is eager to hear your responses.

We’re in week two of the COVID-19 mandated isolations, and we’d like you to spend some time really evaluating some feelings. It’s ok if you feel a mess. It’s ok if you don’t really know how you feel. But watch this video message, try to get some thoughts together, and share your responses with us at stagelightathome@gmail.com or tag us on social @stagelightarts. And it’s ok if you want your responses to stay private! Just let us know.

Stay strong, Stagelighters. We’ll be back together in class soon.

Ms. Anna has created a beautiful contemporary/modern dance that can “be very emotional.” It’s for you do perform when “you feel sad, or scared, or maybe you don’t know how to feel and you’re trying to sort that out.”

Ms. Anna has broken the entire dance down into very learnable sections. Feel free to pause and rewind as needed until you’ve learned the movement well. Keep in mind, she is mirroring you while she is teaching. Which means, when you learn it from the video, you should be her mirror. For instance, when she starts the dance facing “down stage left,” you’ll notice she is actually facing down stage right. Make sure you face down stage left, and you’ll be all set to mirror her movements.

Enjoy this process. Enjoy moving. Enjoy letting your emotions carry you through the dance.

Send us your videos performing the dance to stagelightathome@gmail.com or tag us on social media @stagelightarts. We can’t wait to watch you dance!

If you’re getting a little stir crazy being at home during this quarantine, channel those emotions and create a musical theatre performance based on “Annie”‘s It’s a Hard Knock Life!

Choreograph and create a music video using your own home as the stage. Include choreography that shows cleaning parts of your house or organizing or washing sheets! Have someone video for you, and maybe even edit the video to show different scenes around your house. Make sure you sing along! And if you can, put together a costume too!

We can’t wait to see your final product. Send your video to stagelightathome@gmail.com or tag us on social media @stagelightarts. Have fun!
