The Little Prince Summer Camp 2

Dear Parents, 

I am looking forward to working with your children Monday through Friday, 9am-3pm or 12pm-3pm for some. 

The studio's address is 223 Moffett Blvd, Mountain View, CA 94043. 
The entrance is in the back of the building and there's no official address. Please type in your GPS "Santa Rosa Ave, Mountain View". At the corner of Corto street, you'll see a green garage door with Cassand Ballet and that's where we are. 

Please pack for your children lunch, snack, and water (12-3pm doesn't need to pack lunch), and send them in comfortable clothing that's close to the body, hair tied back. They may wear dance or gymnastic shoes but most of them are fine barefoot.

Last week we went to Jackson park for lunch (just a few minutes drive), andthe children loved it. Since I know you all personally, I assume you are fine that my assistant and I drive your children for the short way to the park. If you have any worries about this please let me know.

During each campthe children practice their part till they are ready to perform it. After the camp and during the time I won't see them, they should rehearse on their own so that when we meet again they are ready to perform in the run through with everyone. 

What we do on a typical day, (but may change with the flow:) 

AM - Preparing Resources
  • 9-9:30 - drama warmup games
  • 9:30-10:30 - movement ritual, movement & drama expression exploration 
  • 10:30-11 - drawing, sharing
  • 11-12 - lunch at the park
PM - Scoring for performance, Performance & Valuaction
  • 12-12:30 - Learn & practice lines. The children gather by scene and practice. Children who have signing parts practice with a musician. Children whose scene partner is absent practice with an assistant. Hao gives a score to each group. This week we wish to nail the scenes: snake, vain main, fox; and hope to start the lamplighter.
  • 12:30-1:30 - Performance and Valuaction (children perform their scene to the group and get notes on how to improve). 
  • 1:30-1:45 - Snack
  • 1:45-2:30 - Practice group dances (This week: nail Storm dance, start Roses dance)
  • 2:30-3 - Practice Finale text, Bow, Encore song.
This album would give you a rough idea of what the children do on a typical day https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/113618937332456909551/albums/6034437278895522001

The children will give parents and friends a short performance on Friday at 2:45pm.

If you have any question please don't hesitate to contact me. 

Looking forward to another fun week!
