Gemini Children’s Theater Previews Sleeping Beauty
The Gemini Theater produces original, interactive, children’s musicals which focus on artistic, cultural and educational themes. This week we welcome members of the cast of Sleeping Beauty as they preview their production of this classic story.
Hill House – Neighborhood Stories
SLB visited the Hill House and captured stories from teenagers about their neighborhoods.
Sound Effects and Foley
Today, campers had to solve a sound effects puzzle: match the prop with the desired sound effect to discover crackling fire, horses galloping, and even a sword fight! Next we wrote small radio plays using the sound effects. The grand finale was a full blown presentation by Bricolage Theater’s Tami Dixon, who brought in a ton of props and goodies, and had the whole class take part in a great train robbery!
Radio Plays and Sound Effects: Part 1
Today, campers were introduced to radio plays and how sound effects are used to enhance a story. We listened to Ray Bradbury’s “Zero Hour”, a sci-fi tale about an alien invasion. With the scripts present, we were able to see the instructions for sound effects while listening to the results in the audio. Tomorrow, we’ll make our own sound effects and receive a demonstration from Bricolage Theater’s Tami Dixon.
A Generous Act
A Generous Act is an exciting and innovative project conceived by artist Mark Garry, in which a talented group of international musicians will collaborate over a period of 16 days at the Mattress Factory museum, whose 4th floor has been converted into a recording studio. The residency will culminate in a performance at the museum. We’re pleased to welcome a few of the performers, live in our studios. See website below for complete details.
