Broadway Revue Rehearsal

 

Broadway Revue, formerly Broadway Cafe, is approaching quickly. This year it will look a little different thanks to the pandemic: no food and no beverages, barely any decorations, socially distanced, masked and the added benefit of an online lifestream option as we can not have as many people in the audience as we used to. The singers are hard at work.

First Pointe Class

 Keira had her first pointe class this week. She has been looking forward to this since the day she did her pointe assessment. Thursday the day was finally here. Jane's dad is the Thursday driver and took some pictures. The first pictures shows Keira (on the left) and Jane, the second picture shows Kaili, Keira and then Jane. At this pointe they only have a 30 minute pointe class each week and they are starting slowly with only doing rises (slowly rolling from the flat foot all the way onto the box of the shoes) and balancing on pointe at the barre. 

Katharine's Sketchbook

Here is a recording of the sketchbook that Katharine submitted for her Cal Arts application.

Cat TV

 Sophie sits way too close to the TV when she watches her screensavers.

Doll House

This week,  Katharine built the house for the doll that she created. 

This will be going into her college portfolio, and will also make for a nice garden ornament until the first rain comes..
