Here, for your viewing pleasure, are some screen grabs from a video recording I made of last Friday’s performance of The Power of One the anti-bullying school touring show that I’ve been putting my heart and soul into for the last month…
Can you spot the bully?
Or the victim?
Renée plays a victim who is about to get cyber-bullied…
Santino bullies gives instructions to some volunteers from the audience.
Renée helps some other volunteers act out a bullying scenario of their own.
In regards to the school show I’m directing…
Greetings from Norseman JMS in Etobicoke!
You’re looking at the setup for our first school show. I’ve tried not to dumb down the script for our young audience, but now, realizing just how tiny these little munchkins are, we may have to re-adjust…
Here’s the fabulously talented Renée Summerfield, one of the actors who will be taking the school show that I’m directing out into the world next week.
Joining her will be Santino Paglia, a student plucked straight from my Second City Conservatory Class. He doesn’t have a website to call his own yet—not even a MySpace page!—but with fame and fortune beckoning he’ll be getting one soon enough…
Silver Elvis, that is…
The expert designing the masks for our school show is none other than Peter Jarvis. You may know him as the silver Elvis statue entertaining kids of all ages outside The Toronto Eaton Centre. You might also recognize him as ringleader of The Subtonic Monks.
Either way he’s a true Renaissance Man, and provides a shining example for 40 year-old artists everywhere… Literally!
