Final Project

For our final project, we will be acting out a scene from the Wizard of Oz where Dorothy, The Cowardly Lion, The Tin Man and the Scarecrow all sing about what they hope the Wizard will be able to do for them. In the movie, it is portrayed that they are walking down the yellow brick road as they are singing. Instead, we are going to start with Dorothy singing in the beginning and all of the characters will walk out and place themselves on either side of Dorothy, alternating sides, meaning one will go on her right, the next on her left and so on. The cast is as follows: John Jiang: The Tin Man, Myself: The Cowardly Lion, Chrissy: Scarecrow, Livvy: Dorothy. In the end of the scene we will then skip off as they do at the end of the song. I feel like this scene is going to be a really special one because for the first time, all four of us are working together and working on a scene from one of the greatest films of all time. I'm a little bit nervous because my character has a certain accent and is able to speak/sing a certain way that I am not vocally capable of which may cripple my ability to hear the notes correctly but that just means I'll have to listen a bit more closely than I normally would which won't be much of a change but it's just something thats in the back of my mind. This project is very unique in the fact that for the first time we are going to be using a bit of choreography which is different because for the previous projects we would pretty much stay in one place with the exception of a few movements such as walking around or moving from place to place but this is more of a choreographed movement which is kind of exciting. I am excited to begin working on the next project.
