The Wizard of Oz
In Summer 2010 we looked at The Wizard of Oz as a theme for our workshops.
The Wizard of Oz is one of the most famous musical films of all time and follows the story of Dorothy, a young girl from Kansas, being transported to the magical Land of Oz.
Here she meets many wonderful characters such as the Scarecrow, the Tinman and the Lion. The story follows her attempts to get home, whilst she is pursued by the evil Wicked Witch of the West who is trying to retrieve her sisters Ruby slippers.
The Wizard of Oz opened in the West End in early 2011, after the BBC searched for someone to play the role of Dorothy.
In our workshops we explored the diverse range of characters in the play, looking at how each character is different from one another and how their speech and action changes throughout the play. We also sang some of the brilliantly written songs and created some of the scenery from the Land of Oz.
