Mariko's Magical Mix: A Dance Adventure

Page 1

Watch for… 2 Mariko’s new friends and how they’re each different or unique. 2 movements the dancers make that you’ve seen before or have made yourself. 2 how Mariko moves with the shadows.

Listen for… 2 songs that sound familiar. Can you name any of them? 2 strong beats. Sometimes dancers move with the beat and sometimes they don’t. 2 how the music helps set the mood.

Think about… 2 how Mariko’s character changes from the beginning of the story to the end. 2 the way music and dance make Mariko see her “boring” world in a new way. 2 how “old” music can feel new to someone who’s never listened to it. 2 your favorite moment in the performance. Why did you like it best?

And remember that a good audience… stays seated, stays quiet, doesn’t eat, listens, and claps.

Have fun!
