Announcing..... a Spring Variety Show at Kennedy!
(yes, it's a lot like a Talent Show, only better.)
STUDENT ACT Auditions are open to everyone - come prepared with 1 minute of an act that you decide and practice on your own, ready to go.
(An example of an act might be a solo song, duet, a dance you made up alone or with a friend, playing an instrument, a comedy routine, a monologue, a scene, poetry, rap, freestyle, beatboxing, something I haven't thought of here, or any combination)
Your final performance may only be 2.5 minutes, Ms P can help you edit your music down since most songs are longer.
EMCEES are the people who introduce each act. They should be comfortable in front of an audience, and maybe have a few banter/bits in between the performers. They need to get the audience going and make everyone feel comfortable and at ease. They might also need to stall for time if the next performers aren't ready. We will have a few people or groups do this job.
**For this audition, be prepared to introduce the beginning of the show, as if you walked out after the lights go down and the spot light is on you. Ms P will also give you a few acts to introduce and guide you through the process. We are looking for how fun, interesting and engaging you are with a crowd.
For Group Dance Auditions on FRIDAY 5/11, Grace will teach you a dance to perform at the show. At auditions, you just need to show up ready to move, and Grace will handle the rest!
