Beauty and the Beast!

Eunice and PACOFS presented "Beauty and the Beast" at the Sand du Plessis theater last week. Many of you were in it! I found you, yes I did! (It helped that you all told me where you would be found in each scene!). I saw you all....assortments of spoons, forks, piggies, wolves, books....I LOVED seeing you up in the Sand stage! You were all fantastic! I am convinced the Helen O'Grady students were just that much better than everyone else, and stood out! That's what made it so much easier for me to find you on that stage of 400 children!! :) What a show! Proud of you all!

I arranged with PACOFS to take my Lebone Village studio kids to the Saturday matinee.
The children loved the show, and indeed the whole big theater experience! Thank you PACOFS for making it possible!

Bring-a-Grownup Day!!

Grownups have just as much fun as the kids!

Dress-up fun!

Dress-up days are the best at the Academy!

Time flying!

We are almost half way through term one of 2012 already! Here are some photos of fun.

2012 Starts up!

At last .... it seemed like these holidays would NEVER end! :)

We have started up with a bang as always. Great fun ahead!

Here we have the Wednesday Ficahrdtpark studio washing cars.

Heads up!

Next week -
Introduction to our Year-end plays! Don't miss class, you'll want to know what's up.

A little 'taster' : -

There is a washed-out Circus, some mutineering Pirates, trouble in an Egyptian museum, a spooky house on a rainy night, and true love triumphs over all!

It's going to be epic!

When you wear bubble-wrap to drama

Dress up days can be fun...but sometimes the costumes wear the actor! :)

Totally wrapped up!

The bubble wrap saga!

Free at last!!!

Germs come in all shapes and sizes!

Movement to music week. Germs everywhere!

Here are some of the best pics.

You don't HAVE to dress up to make good 'germs'! :)

But Monday studio did look the coolest!

Countdown to Term THREE

Classes start up on Monday. Busy Term ahead. Some dress-up days; we plan and start practicing for our Year-end Plays; and always end Term three with a "Whacky Week!"

Thought I'd put a few snapshot protraits of our Youth in various moods. :)

Paret Day Presentations!

At the end of Term Two all our classes perform a Parent Day Presentation. A presentatio of a cross-section of the skills learned so far in the year.

This year as always, we had enormous fun performing verbal dynamic peices, snippets, structured scenes and improvisations.

Term three brings the beginnings of our Year End Play productions - an exciting time!

Start up next week 18th July! See everyone back at class.

Dress-up days...our favourite!

Kid's love the chance to dress-up!  We have several opportunities in each term to have fun, easy, dress-up days.  Here we did an improvisation called "The Sleep-over".  You wouldn't believe the array of PJ's, slippers....and TEDDY BEARS!!  :)

I think they would all agree though, that the BEST part of the improvisation, was the PILLOW FIGHT!!
