I agree with shaunie and bethanies ideas, i think it would be good when the audience first walk in to be able to get the feel of the performance with pictures from the fim and bits of set like mushrooms and trees dotted around the front of school and the hall. I also think the battle dance in red and white would an effective way to end the show

Structuring ideas

Hi Year 11,
as the theme is now decided and we know some of the dance pieces involved - perhaps you could start with a basic structure and say which section each dance represents.
Then we will have an idea of which sections still need a piece creating for.
As well as your Y11 dances - Y13 have 3 pieces, Year 2 will have 2 pieces and Y10 a possible 2 or 3 pieces.
Lots of hard work ahead - good luck

My idea was that we could start some dances from the seats in the audience, so the audience doesn't get bored of just seeing us on the stage.

An idea would be to do Avril Lavigne - Underground at the beginning when Alice is falling down the hole.
And then a set idea would be to have big wooden playing cards at either side of the hall and stage.

One of my ideas was to do a contemporary dance to the song beyonce- I was here because in the song she talks about how she was here on earth which relates to when Alice is been accused of been the fake Alice.

Year 11,

You have started off with some creative ideas revolving around set, costume and staging which hopefully your design and technical team will take on board when planning the show.

I particularly liked the idea of writing the drama transitions to piece together the variety show.

Does anyone have any ideas for choreography? Any routines you have linked with the Alice in Wonderland theme?

Let me know,

I agree with jodies ideas. My idea is that super bass could represent the battle between the queens, and one side should be red and the other should be white to show the queens armies. People should act out lines to show where we are in the story.

Beth Carter

i agree with all the ideas. i also think we could maybe use projections of alice during different points of the dance show so that the audience keep up with the theme and it makes more sense. i think we should also advertise for a hair and make up team(like rock challenge) and have big hair and bright make up.

I agree with ryan because then it will give the full effect of how Alice felt, and also it will make the piece easier for the audience to understand! It's a creative idea!:)

i think that all the set should be bigger than us, all the props could be really big to make us look small. i also think that it would be good to use the whole hall as a dance area.
thanks for reading

I think we should have a choregraphed piece were half the dancers are in red and the other half are in white having a battle dance. This would be effective at the end of the dance show because in the film it is the final battle on the chess board. i agree with shaunie and sophys ideas aswel because it'll make our dance show unique.

I thought we could make props for the show like mushrooms,trees,rabbits,flowers etc to place in the hall so that it makes the hall look more brighter and less dull.We could also put pictures up from parts of the scenes in Alice and wonderland around the hall and entrance of the school.

I thought if we did a dance to the music that is used in the film when alice falls down the hole we could do a dramatic piece. We could make it quite big and bold as a dance with lot's of turns and jumps, which would give the effect of falling and using levels.. the dance could maybe finish on the floor.

The shows theme has been decided as 'Alice in Wonderland'
