Last day of camp, Ashland High School!

Monday, August 6

First day of our fifth year of August camp!  Our biggest camp ever - and our most ambitious camp show.  Red and Tie-Dye got to work right away learning our music and choreography.  All the other groups followed with Music and some Dance sessions.  Lots of getting to know you activities today, too!  Huge crowd for yoga - we ran out of mats!   I'll bring extras tomorrow!

 

Tuesday, August 7

Lots of choreography today!  Here's a picture of some of the Orange and Blue dancers! (more below)   We chose soloists for some of the songs, and more auditions tomorrow.  Many of the groups are cast and everyone got a great part!  Meditation, water games and arts & crafts today, too!

Our "cats" tried out some makeup today.  Check out the results, right!  Lots more great dancing, too - pictures below.  We chose soloists for our last two songs and everyone who tried out got a solo or a featured singing parts in one or more songs.  They sound fantastic!  Lots of improv games game, too!  Special Guest Art & Movement Teacher Judy G. for Orange and Blue!

 

 

Thursday, August 9

Tie-Dye and Red kicked the day off with energy, thanks to Guest Kickboxing Teacher Rachel R.  (picture, right)  Two separate sets of yoga, meditation and relaxation with Roberta today (orange/blue and green/tie-die).  Hula hoop games with Sarah (yellow/red) were a huge hit.  Pink loved playing water games, including jump rope with a hose.  And oh yes, we got in tons of rehearsal with Choreographer Mike B., Sharon and Joanne!  Pix of today's yoga, singing and dancing below (That's Sharon with the guitar!)

Friday, August 10

Costume parade for everyone!  From gorgeous Asian robes to swirling pink skirts to hippie costumes ... everyone looks fantastic!  We were so busy I forgot to take pictures.  Judy G. came back and Orange and Blue performed "We are One World" for everyone (see photo).  Can't wait til Monday!

What a phenomenal day of rehearsing!  Indoor, outdoor, with music, without ... it just keeps getting better.  Here's a shot of Sharon rehearsing outdoors with soloists.  Lots of great acting games today, a playwriting workshop, create your own dance activity, lots more!

 

 

 

Tuesday, August 14

Our first run-throughs today!  Everyone did a great job.  Lots of amazing moments ... lots of work left to do ... but we are right on schedule for a fantastic show!  Some of our older campers (who want to be future counselors) did projects with the younger campers, including arts & crafts and acting games.  A fun time was had by all!

 

Wednesday, August 15

Last day at the church!  We worked with a few groups in the mornings ... then saw the results of our campers' choreography mid-day!  The afternoon was a run-through of the whole show.  Fantastic! 

Thursday, August 16

Dress rehearsal at Ashland High School!  Also enjoyed early morning yoga outdoors! See you tomorrow - doors open at 1:15 p.m.
