Performing Arts Mix Report, by Bernadette Gambrill.
On the 16th
of August the Morisset Community came together again to participate in the Performing
Arts Mix, that latest art2264@MorissetPCYC event.
The Deborah Lee Dance
Academy started off the event with a Hip Hop dance workshop. Each dance was
broken down into steps to create a dance routine. Then a change into the black,
blue and pink costumes was made, as the performance of ‘Grease’ was performed
which included songs from the soundtrack.
Following the dance
hour, ‘Arcadia Vale Public School and Friends’ arrived with instrument cases of
all shapes and sizes for an hour of mixed music performances. The concert band
performed songs such as ‘Man from Snowy River’ and ‘March Royale’ for the
audience. A highlight of the evening was Lily Fox’s performance as she sang a
few delightful songs including ‘Tomorrow.’
Janine from Drama Karma,
made an appearance with her Drama workshops for the kids (and some older
participants too!) for the final hour of all things dramatic! They made up characters
on the go, participated in theatre sports and used their imagination to create stories
out of props.
Other activities
included a craft table (making performing arts masks) and the PCYC Gaming Van-
both of which were very busy all evening. ‘Busy Baking’s’ delicious treats
included, home-made sausage rolls, cupcakes and slices for the audience to
enjoy.
Art2264@morissetpcyc

program to become a member of Morisset PCYC. A once time fee is required for
