Wonderland: June 2014
We’re so proud of everyone’s creative interpretation of a character from Alice in Wonderland. As you can probably tell, we had a lot of fun with this show.
The White Rabbit
Performance, Choreography and Costume by Angela Rawlings
Music: Follow Me Down by 3OH!3
“When suddenly a White Rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her. There was nothing so VERY remarkable in that; nor did Alice think it so VERY much out of the way to hear the Rabbit say to itself, ‘Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be late!’ (when she thought it over afterwards, it occurred to her that she ought to have wondered at this, but at the time it all seemed quite natural); but when the Rabbit actually TOOK A WATCH OUT OF ITS WAISTCOAT-POCKET, and looked at it, and then hurried on, Alice started to her feet, for it flashed across her mind that she had never before seen a rabbit with either a waistcoat-pocket, or a watch to take out of it, and burning with curiosity, she ran across the field after it, and fortunately was just in time to see it pop down a large rabbit-hole under the hedge.”
The Red Queen
Performance, Choreography and Costume by Lindsey Morgan
Music: Alice’s Theme by Danny Elfman
“The moment they saw her, they hurried back to the game, the queen merely remarking that a moment’s delay would cost them their lives. All the time they were playing the Queen never left off quarrelling with the other players, and shouting “off with his head” or “off with her head!” Those whom she sentenced were taken into custody by the soldiers who of course had to leave off being arches to do this, so that, by the end of half an hour or so, there were no arches left, and all the players except the King, the Queen, and Alice, were in custody and under sentence of execution.”
The Caterpillar
Performance, Choreography and Costume by Jennifer Peters
Music: Jimi Hendrix Mash-Up by Joe Powell
The Cheshire Cat
Performance, Choreography and Costume by April Bisner
Music: Don’t Come Around Here No More by Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers
“‘What sort of people live about here?’
‘In THAT direction,’ the Cat said, waving its right paw round, ‘lives a Hatter: and in THAT direction,’ waving the other paw, ‘lives a March Hare. Visit either you like: they’re both mad.’
‘But I don’t want to go among mad people,’ Alice remarked.
‘Oh, you can’t help that,’ said the Cat: ‘we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad.’
‘How do you know I’m mad?’ said Alice.
‘You must be,’ said the Cat, ‘or you wouldn’t have come here.’”
The Mad Hatter
Performance, Choreography and Costume by Anastasia Timina
Music: We’re All Mad Here by Emma Wallace
“”There is a place. Like no place on Earth. A land full of wonder, mystery, and danger! Some say to survive it: You need to be as mad as a hatter.
[picks up his hat]
The Mad Hatter: Which luckily I am.”
The Playing Cards
Performance, Choreography and Costume by Lindsey Morgan, Clayton Woodson & Kelly Bratz
Music: March of Cards by Camara Chorus
“First came ten soldiers carrying clubs; these ere all shaped like the three gardeners, oblong and flat, with their hands and feet at the corners: next the ten courtiers: these were ornamented all over with diamonds, and walked two and two, as the soldiers did. After these came the royal children; there were ten of them, and the little dears came jumping merrily along hand in hand, in couples: they were all ornamented with hearts.”
The Flamingo Mallet
Performance, Choreography and Costume by Jordan Anderson
Music: Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds by The Beatles
“The chief difficulty Alice found at first was in managing her flamingo: she succeeded in getting its body tucked away, comfortably enough, under her arm, with its legs hanging down, but generally, just as she had got its neck nicely straightened out, and was going to give the hedgehog a blow with its head, it WOULD twist itself round and look up in her face, with such a puzzled expression that she could not help bursting out laughing: and when she had got its head down, and was going to begin again, it was very provoking to find that the hedgehog had unrolled itself, and was in the act of crawling away: besides all this, there was generally a ridge or furrow in the way wherever she wanted to send the hedgehog to, and, as the doubled-up soldiers were always getting up and walking off to other parts of the ground, Alice soon came to the conclusion that it was a very difficult game indeed.”
Alice
Performance, Choreography and Costume by Angela Bellaconis
Music: White Rabbit by Emilianna Torrini
“Dear, dear! How queer everything is to-day! And yesterday things went on just as usual. I wonder if I’ve been changed in the night? Let me think: was I the same when I got up this morning? I almost think I can remember feeling a little different. But if I’m not the same, the next question is, Who in the world am I? Ah, THAT’S the great puzzle!’”
