Juanita Drama * Posted Saturday, June 12 for the FINAL week of the 20-21 School Year!
SKM Combat
Hello Drama!
Congratulations to the Class of 2021! You are taking so many memories with you: Theatre, Pop-up, New Theatre, Remote, Concurrent, beginning with The Addams Family! Wow. There will never be another four years like the ones we have traveled together. The Senior Farewell was very special. Thanks to all who helped with the Costume Parade, flowers, cards and memories. The senior presentation was amazing as you recreated the past four years of our time together. The final song had me in tears, and then you came up with that hilarious twist that had us all laughing - a true metaphor for how this year has been and how you have coped with it; with laughter and with love! Thank you having a significant impact on my life and the Juanita Drama program. We will all miss you!
This week's featured photo is from She Kills Monsters, with 2021 Graduate Jade Buist in a battle with the Succubi! I chose this pic to honor Jade's amazing career with JHS Drama, and because of the stage combat choreo this pic captures. I imagine those of you in Drama 1&2 can relate to the action in this shot!
Drama 1 &2: The stage combat unit has been so much fun. I am proud of everyone, at home and in-person, for diving into the work with such energy and creativity! From old people battling it out, to siblings dueling over the last slice of pizza, the final combat choreographed scenes were memorable and super fun to watch. We have one more group on Monday to look forward to! I could not have asked for a better group to do this crazy year with. You were always up for everything I came up with. I love how supportive of each other you are. I would love to keep teaching this group, and hope to see all of you who haven't graduated in Drama next year in Drama 2 or 3, the after school class, or the tech class, or both!
Technical Theatre: I have enjoyed our discussions about the art and science of Theatre throughout the year. You amazed me with the energy in the class right from the start, and helped me to find my way through teaching a theoretical online tech class. You have been patient and super helpful with tech issues. The projects were great, and the support you gave each other made the class grow as a group. I really enjoyed our final unit on filmic techniques. There are quite a few film buffs in the class, and it was so fun to talk films with you! Those of you that created short films did an amazing job. I showed them all to Gary and he made the same comment that someone said in class: Caroline's opening was like a teaser for a new show on Netflix! I am going to take what we did for the filmic unit and expand it next year in class based on your contributions to the assignment.
I am finishing up my grades for all classes. If I am missing something you submitted make sure you let me know!
TO ALL DRAMA STUDENTS:
If you would like to join the Drama Leadership Group there are a couple of spots open now that our seniors have graduated! Let me know by email! Drama Leadership: 2:45 - 4pm after class on Tuesday for our final meeting this year.
