For today’s creative project, let’s create a theatrical mask, either based on one of your favorite characters from a story, book or movie, or a character you invent! Follow the instructions below, and make sure to send us pictures of your final creation to stagelightathome@gmail.com or tag us on social media @stagelightarts.

1. Use found materials in the house. Get creative!

2. Try to make eye holes (they can be as small as a pea or as big as an eye). Find some string or elastic for wearing the mask if you can.

3. Use crayons, markers, stickers, craft supplies… whatever you can! Add as much detail as possible. Be creative. Have fun with it!

4. Now, don your mask, act out or improvise a scene, and take a bow! Don’t forget to send us pictures of your creation so we can see you progress during these Home Activities!

Traditions: Talchum (Korea) Kolam (Sri Lanka) Topeng (Indonesia) Lakhon Khol (Cambodia) Kohn (Thailand)

Intermediate dancers, do NOT let yourself get lazy during all this time at home. We know it’s hard to stay motivated in times like these, but it’s really important that you put one foot in front of the other and KEEP MOVING.

Learn this fun jazz routine Ms. Katy put together. Send us your videos at stagelightathome@gmail.com or tag us on social media @stagelightarts so we can see your progress and share with your teachers.

“Oh-oh-ohh-oh-oh-ohh-oh-oh-oh…” Are your kids sick of hearing you say, “Wash your hands!” lately? We all know how important good hygiene is–and how especially important it is during this coronavirus scare–but that doesn’t necessarily make it any easier for our kids to listen to us about washing their hands!

This fun song, set to Beyonce’s Single Ladies melody, is a great song for your Mini Stagelighter to learn today. Print out the sheet music (or view it on your screen), and see if you can help your Mini follow along with the lyrics.

Practice singing the song multiple times today and every time your Mini washes his or her hands! We’ve included both the version with lyrics and a version without lyrics so your Mini can really make this a performance as he or she gets to know the song better.
