Hello Drama!
Albert Einstein was one smart guy! He was unique in his ability to understand complex concepts. One of the most complex ideas out there is the role imagination plays in our lives. He said "Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand".
Those outside the Theatre community tend to view performing arts as chaotic, a bunch of artistic types run amok. It is interesting because performance - dance, music, drama - is highly organized, requires vast skill sets, and needs a deep commitment to practice. All of which indicate structure rather than chaos. And yet we know that there is a significant part of theatre that requires the chaos of creativity, the willingness to imagine beyond our limitations. It seems that knowledge + imagination = creativity, and as Mr. Einstein says, "Creativity is just intelligence having fun". Yes!
Did anyone see Richard III? I had to change to Saturday, Oct 6, at 7:30. I encourage ALL of you to go so that you are part of the conversations we are going to have about the play. The more Theatre you go to, the richer your lives will become, and the more you will get out of your time with Juanita Drama.
Have you received your TeenTix card in the mail? Have it with you at school on your key chain, or attached to your backpack. By the way, if you LOSE it you can just request another one. You can also use your temporary pass. On the day you want to go see a show call the box office and ask if there are TeenTix tickets left. You will need to purchase day of at the box office, often getting season ticket holder seats that are available last minute. Make sure you bring your pass and ID when you go because you will need them to prove you are signed up to TeenTix. Make plans to go the Teeny Awards, and don't forget to Vote! You don't need to attend the awards to vote. Just go to www.teentix.org.
6th and 7th: Last week we watched The Wizard of Oz. We will be talking about the film on Monday. If you missed either day that we watched the film for any reason you will need to watch it on your own (It is on Prime), and have your parent write a note confirming you viewed it. It doesn't count if you saw it before; we are watching it with a new purpose, and you need to have a fresh memory of the movie.
