READ THIS NOTE FIRST!!!!
Ok, first, thanks for auditioning. We saw lots of lovely things that made our creative team so very excited for the show! We hope that you are excited too. Please keep in mind that this show is all about community and finding your place in it. Tarzan is only able to find his place once he accepts his similarities and differences within his community and once they accept him as a part. That same sentiment must exist in our show for it to work. We must truly be an ensemble, which is to say, a community dedicated toward the retelling of this story. Go out of your way to be kind and accepting, as Kala does. Be determined to be a friend, as Turk is. Demonstrate forgiveness as Kerchack does. Look for the good in others and in situations as Porter does. Be determined to do your part within the community, as Tarzan is. And do everything you can do include people who might seem different and who you might not understand and see what they have to offer as Jane does.
Only then can we begin to tell this beautiful story.
As stated in class, we don't know yet what individual roles the ensemble will play. That will be determined on Tuesday in class, so come prepared to move and dance again. We are looking for who can move like gorillas, flowers, leopards, insects, etc. It wil be fun to see what you can do. Give it your all. Below, only the named parts are listed, as others will be determined this week.
Again we were very impressed with your hard work and are so incredibly excited for the talent in this class! Let's do this!
