Basic Acting, 11/28
Once the class was in and settled, Daisy stepped up and leaned against the chalk board. "Before we get started, I have two announcements. The first is that I've decided to change your final project. Instead of doing group scenes, I thought it would be more fun and more of a stretch of your acting abilities to do a murder mystery party, instead. Next week I'll give you your roles for the party; I'm going to ask that you keep your role to yourself and not talk to the other students in the class about it. The fun is to figure out who the killer is, after all, so I want to make sure that only myself and the killer know who got that role assigned.
"The second is that we will be participating as a class in the school's holiday pageant on December 8th. It seems some little chippy named Nadia Santos will be performing the song 'The Christians and the Pagans' for the pageant, so I thought it would be fun to have all of us act out the events of the song on stage. Sort of an interpretive dance kind of thing. Now, this isn't going to be for a grade, but I will consider it extra credit. You don't have to participate, but show some school spirit. Your friends won't laugh. No. Really. I mean it."
Daisy passed out sheets with the song lyrics on it.
"Angela? I'd like you to play Amber, if you don't mind, Briar, if you could be Amber's uncle, and you two," she pointed to the twins, whose names she still wasn't able to come close to pronouncing, "will share the role of Timmy. I think that will increase the impact of the youthful, innocent role in the show. John, I'd like you to be Jane. Show your fellow classmates that, as TA, you have the acting ability and flexibility to portray the part well. Zero? I know you're the leader of Teal Dear, would you mind leading the rest of the class as a band of dancing pagans and Christians? That'd be wonderful."
She wrote the list down on the board as she spoke:
Angela - Amber
Briar - Amber's uncle
Twins - Timmy
John - Jane
Zero - Chorus leader
Hamlet, JD, Jake, Sakura - dancing pagans and christians
Once the song was castmostly, anyway, Daisy went back to leaning against the chalkboard. "Now, to do this properly, you're going to need costumes. I'd like you all to take this time to figure out what kind of costume you'd like to wear in the pageant. Remember the holiday theme, and keep in mind your character and what you think your character might wear. Think about their personality, their motivations. And think about the fact that you have to be able to move while wearing it."
[ooc: OCD is going up. And yes, I know that Daisy left out assigning the role of Amber's aunt. That will be filled by someone in particular. Those who received character assignments above can decide to swap roles and such if you want, just don't take the Amber's aunt role. Those who are listed as dancing pagans and chrsitians are the ones who didn't get back to me on the post yesterday, so you don't get special roles, so nyeah!
Participation in the pageant is COMPLETELY OPTIONAL.]
