For the hip-hop dance you can choose for example:
- blue (and white) background - the colours of Finland (on our DVD we had a blue one)
- you can use also the scene that we had on the stage of our spring feast in May 2017: a summer view of Finland
Jan arrives at Muuruvesi School:
Shadow theatre performance, props
- a big white cloth, lights behind the cloth and the scene
- On the DVD there is a separate short video (after the whole show) taken from the backside, showing what the actors do and what kind of props they have. For example: different kinds of headwear (one having horns), wings, a cape, a sword or a stick resembling a sword, ribbons, a pot, sticks, a chest, ...
Dance, Hip hoppii englantii
Background: a blue cloth (or you can beam a blue backround by a beamer), a big flag of Finland, small flags of the Erasmus+ countries in a string
An alternative backdrop scene: the scene of our spring feast May 2017 where the show was performed, a summer scene among the photos above.
The children are wearing a blue-white (the colours of Finland) bracelet on their right hand (it helps also to remember right and left with the moves).
An easy way to make the bracelet: - Wind the yarn (minimum two pieces of yarn, or more) - either with a pair, each one holding an end, or alone with the other end fastened to e.g. a hook on a wall - to oppisite directions with your pair or to one direction alone. - When you have wound enough, bend the ends together and let the rest of the string wind around to form one string, helping by hand to get a good form. - Make knots to both ends of the string. - Use the string as a bracelet - You can use both blue and white yarn to make one bracelet or you can make separate blue and white ones.
Clothes: relaxed freetime clothes suitable for hip hop style
