My Turn-Saturday 31st March 2012
MY TURN!
Saturday 31st March 2012, 12 – 1pm, at Prendergast
‘My Turn’ is your event – your turn. Now you can have a go – choreograph your own dance, write your own song or drama piece. Or do all three! If you’ve always wanted to, or just don’t know what it might be like, please have a go. It’s for you and we’re all here to cheer you on.
This event is not a competition – it is open to all Montage students, aged 6 years and over (adults too!), but there are guidelines with progress closely monitored by staff so you can produce the best work you possibly can. So here goes:
You can create a performance in any style you wish (ie. dance, script or song). Have fun choosing your music and don’t be afraid to be original! Nothing offensive please.
Each piece must be no longer than 2 minutes and 30 secs and no shorter than 1 minute 30 secs – we will be VERY strict on this.
- Your performance(s) must be created by you and/or your group.
- You must create your pieces outside of the Montage classes – so do it at home!
- Musical accompaniment: please provide a CD with your name on it.
- Costumes or Montage uniform can be worn for the performance and small props may be used.
- Teachers will give positive feedback and guidance. To do this, there are 2 dates you will need to work to:
a) You need to write a few lines on a named sheet of paper telling us what you’d like to do and what each piece of work is about – parents can help with this!
This must be done by Saturday 10th March!
b) If we’ve got a lot of entries, the teachers will ask you to show your work to us before the ‘My Turn’ event. We will tell then you if your piece is developed enough to be shown.
Presentation, Saturday 31st March, 12 – 1pm:
You will perform your song, dance or act on the Prendergast stage to students, teachers and families.
Parents/Carers
Parents do encourage your children to take part and help them along the way – it should be great fun. Just ask a teacher if you have any queries.
HAVE A GO – AND HAVE A BALL! We look forward to seeing what you come up with!
