Hello there,
I hope that all of you had a wonderful start to the 2009-2010 school year. I am so excited about all the interesting events and performances taking place! Our annual J. Wallace James Silent Auction will be held on Friday, December 4, 2009. The Silent Auction will serve as a fundraiser for our J. Wallace James Fine Arts programs and will be open to parents on Monday, November 30 and close on Friday, December 4, 2009. We are excited to announce that for the first time, select art students will be performing on the last day of the Silent Auction! If you are interested in donating to the Silent Auction email me at hkbriggs@lpssonline.com. During the Art Walk, which will take place on Friday, January 29, students will be exposed to various art forms through hands-on activities, demonstrations, displays and performances by community artists. Email me if you are willing to share your art form/hobby with students during the Art Walk. Hannah Briggs Third grade drama students are being introduced to the three drama tools: body, mind, and voice. They will be using the drama skills learned in this class to present a creative movement performance during class time on Wednesday, December 9, 2009. Hope you will join us!
Fourth grade drama students have been looking forward to attending You Can’t Stop the Beat, a Lafayette High School Showcase in mid-November. Over 300 students in the LHS Choir will be presenting music through singing, dancing, choreography, and sign language. Not only will this field trip allow students to observe what high school art students are up to, but they can also practice their audience behaviors. Soon, fourth grade drama students will begin studying improvisation, a from of theatre (often comedic) in which actors follow no prepared script but rather create story lines “on the spot.” Guest artists assisting with this unit will encourage the young actors to “take risks” and be creative while onstage.
5th Grade Drama Elective: If you, or anyone you know is interested and willing to assist with minor costume needs such as sewing buttons, etc. please let me know! I greatly appreciate any help. The Story of the Nutcracker will take place in the J. Wallace James cafetorium on Thursday, December 17 at 7:00 PM. Please invite family and friends to share in the holiday spirit with this full length version of a classic Christmas tale! In January, fifth grade drama students will begin working on a short monologue which can be used for L. J. Alleman auditions in the spring. If you have any questions about LJA auditions, email me.
