THE SCHOOL OF ADT STUDENT SHOWCASE 2009

School Daze

TECH WEEK:  May 10, 11, 12, and Dress Rehearsal & Performance May 16 @ ACPA

PHOTO SHOOT:  Wednesday and Thursday, May 13 & 14 @ ADT 550 East 33rd Avenue

 

This is the final week of production, involving over 300 performers, ADT staff, many volunteers and a busy production crew.  Please make every effort to be prompt so that rehearsals can run ON TIME!  This will make the production a more enjoyable and positive experience for all.  It is most important the children feel confident and ready for their performance.  ANY UNPREPARED OR LATE CHILD AFFECTS THE ENTIRE CLASS!

 

CHECKING CHILDREN IN AND OUT OF THEATRE:  Parents, please escort your dancer to the FIFTH or SIXTH AVENUE side of the ACPA and enter through the street level doors leading to the lobby.  Your child will go directly to the ADT Check-In Station once inside.  The child must identify himself/herself by stating his/her name and class title to the ADT personnel.  Each child will join his/her class & chaperone there.  A runner will escort the classes to the dressing room areas.  Students in more than one dance must check out with their FIRST class chaperone, then, check in with their NEXT class chaperone without exiting the downstairs dressing rooms, unless there is more than one half hour between his/her multiple classes.  All students will remain with their chaperone AT ALL TIMES until dismissed!  Children must check out of the theatre at the Check-In station to be picked up by parents.  Parents waiting must remain in the lobby at all times.  Only ADT staff and assigned volunteers will be allowed in the backstage and dressing room areas. NO EXCEPTIONS. 

 

We will not allow any child to leave the building without his/her parent or a designated adult!   If you allow your child to leave with another adult, or to leave independently, you must submit the (attached) parent note, which will be kept at the Check-In station all week.   Our volunteers will be enforcing these safety checks.  Please support them, and all of us, by following the rules, which are for your childÕs safety.

 

PARKING:  Families must allow extra time to park. The two-hour limit and free parking areas are enforced during the day.  Parking meters are free after 6:00pm. Parking garage on corner of 6th & G (enter on G street) and parking (pay) lot on 7th and F is available. We recommend parking at JC PenneyÕs Garage, or even carpooling from the ADT parking lot.

 

ÒCALLÓ Time:      Dancer has checked in to the theatre, and is in his/her assigned dressing room.

ÒSTAGEÓ Time:                The activity is on stage, (Generally 30 minutes after "Call" time)

ÒDISMISSALÓ Time:   Your dancer can be picked up at this time at the Check-In Station.

 

NO JEWELRY OR GUM!  DO NOT BRING VALUABLES TO THE THEATRE!

 

DRESSING ROOM ASSIGNMENTS:  Will be posted on all doors.  Groups will be assigned according to size, program order, gender, and age.  Boys will have their own room for changing.  We are sharing the theatre with two other groups.  Our dancers must stay in our area!  There will be serious consequences if children wander anywhere other than their dressing room, or the immediate access to or from the Atwood stage.

 

SNACKS:  Please prepare a small, healthy snack for long days.  Use only plastic containers.  Clear beverages!  Chaperones will select snack time. NEVER EAT IN COSTUME!

 

VIDEO:  A professional video company, Visuart, will videotape the performance.  Pre-paid orders may be placed at ADT through June 15.  The cost for a DVD is $30. ADT does not permit videotaping, or photography, during the rehearsals or the performance.

 

END OF YEAR CONFERENCES MAY 11 - 15 & 18 – 29.  Parents may sign up for conferences at ADT.

(Another dance school will be performing in the Discovery Theatre. 

Please be attentive and stay in ADT-Designated areas.)

 

All performers are required to be in full COSTUME AND MAKE UP.  Photography will be taking place for ADT marketing and archival purposes.  Dancers are required to arrive fully prepared, as for the actual performance:  Clean tights, proper shoes, leotards, and hair styled as for performance.   MAKE-UP SHOULD BE APPLIED AT HOME!  (See "Showcase Make up and Hair Instructions" in this packet.)

 

NO JEWELRY!  NO NAIL POLISH!   DO NOT BRING VALUABLES TO THE THEATRE!  Provide your child a nutritious meal before delivering to the theatre.  Pack a snack for any long day.  (NO Glass containers!)

 

Dancers who perform in more than one class MUST practice costume changes EXACTLY as they would for the actual performance, and, in the exact location.  Some are assigned to the backstage quick-change booths, with assistance from wardrobe personnel and older dancers.  Others will have time to change in their regular dressing rooms.  Class Rosters will indicate which performers use the quick-change booths.

MEETING PERFORMING CHILDREN AFTER THEY PERFORM:  Dancers (in classes #1 - #10) who perform only in the first half, will change clothes after performing and will watch the remainder of the first half as soon they have loaded out of their dressing room.  These children will be escorted by and seated with their chaperone in a designated section of the first mezzanine until intermission.  During intermission one parent may come up to the mezzanine to retrieve his/her child. These children will join their families for the second half of the concert in the orchestra level.  We suggest that parents save a seat for their performing child prior to the start of the performance.  Performers near the very end of the first half (Classes #11 - 15) will be escorted directly from the dressing rooms to the main lobby to meet their parents.  If a child is lost, the house manager will page parents.  Rendezvous will be at the Atwood box office on the street level.

 

PERFORMERS and PERFORMANCE-NIGHT-ONLY CHAPERONES DO NOT NEED A

TICKET TO SIT IN THE AUDIENCE!

 

Dancers in second half (Classes #­­­­­­­16 - #22) will change clothes after performing, load out of the dressing room, and be escorted by and seated with their chaperone in the first mezzanine during the running of the show.  Chaperones will bring these performers down to meet their parents at the end of the show at the main lobby on the street level. All other dancers (Classes # 23 - #27) can be met in the same lobby at the end of the evening once they have loaded out of their dressing rooms.

 

FLOWERS!  ADT will be selling beautiful fresh flowers in the lower level lobby of the Alaska Center for the Performing Arts for $5, on performance night.  This is a popular fundraiser and we often sell out.

 

RAFFLE TICKETS!  Will be on sale prior to the performance and during intermission.  The drawing will take place on stage, following the intermission.  Tickets are $5 each or a book of 5 for $20.

 

THANK YOU PARENTS!  We appreciate your cooperation in arranging schedules, carpooling, helping with costumes, and your enthusiasm for the ADT Student Showcase.  With your support, and our many volunteers, we can continue to offer these valuable educational opportunities to our dancers.  We hope to see you at parent teacher conferences May 11 - 15, & May 18 – 29.

 

SHOWCASE MAKE-UP AND HAIR INSTRUCTIONS

 

Parents are responsible for their child's make-up for these three events leading up to the Showcase performance.  Please review this important information and prepare a kit with supplies for your child.

 

1/        Photo Shoot, May 13 & 14 @ ADT!  (Complete make-up)

2/        Dress Rehearsal, Saturday, May 16, 12:00 @ ACPA (Complete make-up)

3/        Performance, Saturday, May 16, 7:00pm @ ACPA (Complete make-up)

 

           Prepare a make-up kit to last all three applications.  You may purchase the required make-up from the vendor of your choice, as long as the colors meet the general requirements.  Performers should arrive with make-up already applied.  On performance night, we will provide volunteers, only for necessary touch-up.  Make-up will be completely re-applied on children who show up with the wrong colors.  If you have any allergenic concerns, you may provide a labeled kit specifically for your childÕs make-up application/touch-ups. 

 

The following items are the responsibility of each parent for each performer:

 

1/        MOISTURIZER:  Apply all over face and neck before applying foundation.

2/        FOUNDATION:  Choose a shade closest to the dancer's natural tone. Apply evenly with a cosmetic sponge and smooth over chin-line into the neck.

3/        BLUSH:  Choose a natural looking ROSE to DARKER ROSE color.  Follow natural line of cheekbone.

4/        EYESHADOW:  Matte  (medium) brown.  NO FROSTED/GLOSSY, or OTHER COLORS!  Apply to eyelids in an almond shape.

5/        EYELINER:  Brown to Black (depending on dancer's natural tone) Liquid or pencil.  Apply to eyelid, following the lash line.

6/        MASCARA:  Browns to Black, (use shade darker than natural lashes)

7/        EYEBROW PENCIL:         Browns to Black (especially needed for fair dancers)

8/        LIPSTICK:        Maroon/Red.  NO:  pinks, oranges, frosted, or glossy!

9/        TRANSLUCENT POWDER:  Brush over entire face and neck to set make-up, and to prevent running when the dancer sweats.

Supplies:  brush, comb, hair pins, bobby pins, hair elastics, hair net, hair spray, super gel, water bottle.
