Sol
This is a set of photos I’m eager to share, because they’re with some of the most brilliant kids I’ve gotten to know throughout this school year. I began volunteering at my old elementary school, with some grade 4s and 5s, in my former grade 4 class, actually. It’s a French Immersion classroom, so I had the opportunity to teach a French drama lesson to them. They had to act out four acts of a play from Sol, from the old popular CBC children’s show Sol et Gobelet, written by Quebecois actor, Marc Favreau. They were super excited to be able to dress up and act in front of each other and that made my job much easier, although I had a real hard time getting them to sit still and watch each other instead of planning out their own scene, which I guess, isn’t that bad. On my last day, I promised them they could put on a small production in class where they could dress up, bring props, and I’d put together a little movie to send home as a keepsake (still in process).
Here are some of their makeup and costumes behind the scenes, and some nice group shots.
All the red makeup provided by my brand new lipstick. Note to self: When you’ve just bought a new tube of lipstick, and are fond of it, do not lend it to a group of 10-year-old boys.
