This post is from the multi-talented UNCSA School of Dance graduate, Rose Shields. For anyone who has seen Peril on the Red Planet, Rose is the dancing, acrobatic Abeona (pictured).
We have had a great time meeting all of the students and faculty at White Oak Elementary. What an energetic mixture of creativity they have! Brian and I have discovered new ways to keep our teaching sessions with the kids running smoothly and artistically. I think we work well as a team... Unfortunately, Brian has been fighting a bad cold to start this week, so I had to teach Day 2 without him (many of the kids said they hoped the "mustache guy" would get well soon). He still was able to pull off all of his roles in Peril on the Red Planet successfully despite barely having a voice... the show must go on! Did I mention we are staying in a place right beside the beach? Yesterday evening's winds made for some pretty impressive waves. I look forward to the rest of this week and harnessing more of the innovation at White Oak Elementary.

P.S.- One of our classes is creating a "Flying stage machine" that includes students who will be Lights, Flying apparatus, special effects, and singers/dancers... this 3rd grade class is ambitious!
