Hi again,
From past experience from participating in this program, I found my student wrote very long librettos with few songs. They love to tell stories and hence the reason for their long opera. When it comes to performing, I found singing and dancing keeps the audience engaged because it becomes difficult to hear individual students speaking. Hence, this time I would suggest that we keep the opera short and simple with more of a focus on singing, dancing and drumming.

Hi Sona,
ReplyDeleteRest assured that the final piece will have a combination of libretto, movement/dance and of course drumming. I am a card carrying member of "the less is more" is camp and I will put all the material together to create a piece that is engaging and tells a lovely story. My thought was to probably break up the libretto and interperse songs and movement through out to enhance the story. All will be fine! Trust in the process.
Excellent! Sounds good. Thanks Sedina!
ReplyDeleteSedina, good note. I recognize that trusting in a process you are unfamiliar with can be daunting, but Sona you are in safe hands.
