Welcome to another week of WACI‘s favourite Lockdown Picks. Each week we take you through some of the best online resources in dance, drama, music, film and production. Enjoy!
Dance
New Second Line
This is a short performance hosted by Ted Talks which is inspired by the events of Hurricane Katrina in 2005. TED Fellow Camille A. Brown choreographed “New Second Line,” which is a celebration of the culture of New Orleans and the perseverance of Black people in the midst of devastation. It’s a truly beautiful performance which I’d encourage you to watch even if you aren’t a dancer.
Production
Projections On Stage
This is a four-part blog for all those interested in technical theatre. The series explores the technical side behind creating projections for theatre.
Music
Jess Gilliam Virtual Scratch Orchestra
The Virtual Scratch Orchestra is open to anybody of any ability, any instrument. Jess Gilliam has written parts specifically designed for beginner and advanced musicians. Jess is currently encouraging musicians to take part in in the second part of this project which is a cover of the Beatles classic ‘Let it Be’.
Film
Into Film
This resource is created by the BFI and the National lottery and has a range of Film-focused activities for young people.
Drama
Vocal Warm-Up
This short vocal warm-up led by Jeannette Nelson offers young actors techniques to prepare their voice ahead of rehearsals and performances. Great for any aspiring actors!
We hope you enjoy this selection and check back next week for more!
