Congratulations to Lone Peak High School's Shakespeare Team!
Both Drama (and techies) and Dance did amazing! We are all so proud of you!
It was a fun experience learning about and applying our knowledge of Shakespeare along with our performing arts. There were individual rounds for drama competitions, and there were ensemble competitions.
In dance Nyahka Greer (PDC Vice Pres.) choreographed a lovely piece from a short quote from "A Midsummer Night's Dream" about a poet's pen creating images to shapes and turning them to airy nothings. It was received well and we got only "nit picky" comments from the judges. We got second place for this ensemble!
Our duo/trio category dance was a collaboration between Bradyrian Thomas, the dancers (Brooke Larson and Caleb Powell), and guidance from Mrs. Di Lello. This duet was based upon the changing love relationship between Othello and Desdemona as Othello believes the lying whispers that she was unfaithful. "I kissed thee er I killed thee" was an inspiring quote. Our duet got first place!
There were only 4 dances that were invited to be showcased at the Closing Ceremony Gala: Timberline ensemble, Lehi ensemble, Salt Lake School for the Performing Arts ensemble, and Lone Peak's duet!!!!
It was said that there were over 3,000 students there at the closing awards ceremony.
Way to rock it!
Go Shakespeare! And way to go you young creative artists/performers!
