Verder naar de oefening van vandaag!

 Once upon a time, in a faraway land, a young prince lived in a

              shining castle. Although he had everything his heart desired,

              the prince was spoiled, selfish, and unkind. But then, one

              winter's night, an old beggar woman came to the castle and

              offered him a single rose in return for shelter from the bitter

              cold. Repulsed by her haggard appearance, the prince sneered at

              the gift and turned the old woman away, but she warned him not

              to be deceived by appearances, for beauty is found within.

              And when he dismissed her again, the old woman's ugliness

              melted away to reveal a beautiful enchantress. The prince

              tried to apologize, but it was too late, for she had seen that

              there was no love in his heart, and as punishment, she

              transformed him into a hideous beast, and placed a

              powerful spell on the castle, and all who lived there.

              Ashamed of his monstrous form, the beast concealed himself

              inside his castle, with a magic mirror as his only window to

              the outside world. The rose she had offered was truly an

              enchanted rose, which would bloom until his twenty-first

              year. If he could learn to love another, and earn her love in

              return by the time the last petal fell, then the spell would

              be broken. If not, he would be doomed to remain a beast for

              all time. As the years passed, he fell into despair, and lost

              all hope, for who could ever learn to love a beast?

Watch the part of the video that comes with the prologue 

On to today's assignment!

Opdracht!

In small groups of three to six, create a short performance to the prologue from Beauty and the Beast with a focus on speaking and moving in chorus.

Experiment with:

• Choral moments (move as one/speak in unison)
• Gestures (movement of a part of the body to express an idea/feeling)
• Exaggerate some gestures- this makes it interesting to watch
• Solo: each person has one solo movement and/or text
