Firebird Eurhythmy Performance
On Thursday before the Thanksgiving holiday, we were privileged to see the third-grade Eurhythmy performance of The Firebird, adapted by the Eurhythmy teacher Ms. M from the Russian fairy tale. She made changes to ensure that the whole class could be involved to the fullest and her vision and choreography were beautiful. There was live piano accompaniment and the children clearly worked very hard to put on this show.
The children were incomparably beautiful to my eyes, which I admit were full of tears the whole time.
Our Firebird.
The Prince and his companions danced and cavorted in the forest.
Lucas was a companion to the Prince
The girls were ladies in waiting to the Princess, and also mermaids in the sea. To me, they look like a Renaissance painting here.
An Evil Magician turned many to stone. I’m told that he was delighted to play this part! And he played it fiercely.
The Prince and Princess eventually were married, of course.
There was a beautiful Queen of the Mermaids, who helped the Prince in his adventures.
