00:00:06.873 --> 00:00:07.774
Hey everyone!

2
00:00:07.774 --> 00:00:10.777 line:0
Welcome to our final session, reflection.

3
00:00:10.910 --> 00:00:13.847 line:0
We're thrilled to have been your hosts
for The Lion King Experience.

4
00:00:13.847 --> 00:00:16.850 line:0
Let's reflect together
on what we've explored.

5
00:00:19.652 --> 00:00:22.522
First, we introduced you to the jobs
in the theater

6
00:00:22.522 --> 00:00:25.792
and how we would work together
throughout The Lion King Experience.

7
00:00:27.027 --> 00:00:31.731
Then we established a great teamwork
tool: Prides and Pride Identities,

8
00:00:32.098 --> 00:00:35.769
which we used throughout our sessions to
participate in the collaborative sessions.

9
00:00:36.169 --> 00:00:39.272 line:0
Next, we explored the rhythm
of the Pride Lands.

10
00:00:41.341 --> 00:00:43.209
We addressed the plot and characters

11
00:00:43.209 --> 00:00:46.212
of The Lion King
and shared some of our experiences.

12
00:00:46.713 --> 00:00:49.983 line:0
We jumped into the role of the Playwright
and aspects of dramatic structure.

13
00:00:51.251 --> 00:00:53.553 line:0
We introduced the function,
responsibilities

14
00:00:53.553 --> 00:00:55.722
and tools of an ensemble.

15
00:00:56.723 --> 00:00:59.292
Then we elaborated on the foundational
concepts

16
00:00:59.292 --> 00:01:02.729
needed to bring the play to life
the building blocks of acting,

17
00:01:03.163 --> 00:01:04.297
music,

18
00:01:04.731 --> 00:01:05.765 line:0
and movement.

19
00:01:07.033 --> 00:01:09.669
We went through the acting processes
of auditioning

20
00:01:09.669 --> 00:01:12.672
and taking the roles
from the page onto the stage.

21
00:01:13.740 --> 00:01:15.442
We looked at objective,

22
00:01:15.708 --> 00:01:17.877 line:0
including given circumstances,

23
00:01:18.311 --> 00:01:19.512
raising the stakes,

24
00:01:20.547 --> 00:01:23.917
and physical and vocal choices
that support storytelling.

25
00:01:25.685 --> 00:01:29.022 line:0
Then, we developed specific
and believable characters

26
00:01:29.022 --> 00:01:32.792 line:0
through analysis, movement,
and improvisation.

27
00:01:34.561 --> 00:01:37.564
Then we dove deeper
into the role of the Director.

28
00:01:37.997 --> 00:01:41.868
We discovered the importance
of a Director's vision and process

29
00:01:41.868 --> 00:01:45.672
for creating and incorporating his
or her vision into a play.

30
00:01:47.240 --> 00:01:49.843 line:0
Next, we introduced you to many designers

31
00:01:49.843 --> 00:01:53.847 line:0
who create the visual design of a play
and shared their process.

32
00:01:54.180 --> 00:01:58.651
We explored how to communicate story
transitions on stage through directing,

33
00:01:58.952 --> 00:02:01.955
acting and design choices,

34
00:02:02.489 --> 00:02:04.390 line:0
and how space is used to tell stories

35
00:02:04.390 --> 00:02:07.861 line:0
through blocking,
set design, and scene changes.

36
00:02:10.096 --> 00:02:12.665
We introduced you to sound design

37
00:02:12.665 --> 00:02:15.135
and focused on important and effective

38
00:02:15.135 --> 00:02:18.138
underscoring, sound effects

39
00:02:18.371 --> 00:02:19.806 line:0
and mic choices.

40
00:02:20.907 --> 00:02:23.910
Then we looked at
how sound, lighting, and movement

41
00:02:23.910 --> 00:02:26.913
work together
to create atmosphere on stage.

42
00:02:28.414 --> 00:02:31.951
And finally, we shared with you
the essential role of cues

43
00:02:31.951 --> 00:02:34.954
and how everything comes together
before the curtain goes up

44
00:02:34.954 --> 00:02:36.956
for performance.

45
00:02:40.393 --> 00:02:43.963
In the process of learning about
the theater, we've seen that many people

46
00:02:43.963 --> 00:02:46.966
with different talents are needed
to create a production for the stage.

47
00:02:47.267 --> 00:02:49.469
What you can do in the theater
includes

48
00:02:50.036 --> 00:02:51.070 line:0
writing,

49
00:02:51.271 --> 00:02:55.041 line:0
directing, stage managing, designing,

50
00:02:55.441 --> 00:02:57.544 line:0
working on the stage crew,

51
00:02:57.877 --> 00:02:58.711 line:0
ushering,

52
00:02:59.179 --> 00:03:03.216 line:0
music directing, playing music, choreographing,

53
00:03:03.783 --> 00:03:06.753 line:0
producing, house managing,

54
00:03:07.420 --> 00:03:10.089 line:0
acting, and so much more.

55
00:03:10.089 --> 00:03:11.758
It takes many different professionals

56
00:03:11.758 --> 00:03:14.761
working together
to make a play successful on stage.

57
00:03:14.827 --> 00:03:18.831
And then of course, there is the audience,
which turns rehearsal

58
00:03:18.831 --> 00:03:22.635
into performance
and makes theater such a special activity.

59
00:03:23.937 --> 00:03:25.305
Thank you for joining us on

60
00:03:25.305 --> 00:03:28.308
this special journey through The Lion King
to learn about theater.

61
00:03:28.675 --> 00:03:32.545
Now get ready to put it all into practice
by performing a scene

62
00:03:32.545 --> 00:03:36.015
from the beginning,
middle, and end of The Lion King Junior.

63
00:03:36.249 --> 00:03:38.484
Although we've covered a lot together,

64
00:03:38.484 --> 00:03:40.954
we've only scratched the surface
of the theater.

65
00:03:40.954 --> 00:03:43.756
Whether you end up
becoming a professional theater maker

66
00:03:43.756 --> 00:03:48.428
or simply a lifelong theater goer,
we hope that The Lion King Experience

67
00:03:48.428 --> 00:03:51.898
has helped you to appreciate the art
that surrounds us every day.

68
00:03:52.832 --> 00:03:54.200
Goodbye!
