Flow of the evening

5:30 – Arrive & Warm Up

6:30 – Doors to the house open, audience enters and mingles (50 per show)

7:00 – Show begins – We start the show

We will be on the 3^rd floor landing spilling down the stairs to sing the first piece of the evening. The group that is lowest on the stairs will take the first group, because they have the farthest to go (Room C – backyard) – Vem kan segla

Be Like the Bird - Groups take their people to the first assigned room. See video for choreography.  

The evening is broken into two acts – there are three pieces in the first half, and three in the second half with an intermission in between.

Act 1 Rooms : A, B/E & C

In Act 1, for moving between rooms, groups will be singing the special tuning meditation type thing that Christina will teach next week.

Act 2 Rooms : D, B/E & F

In Act 2, we will use Be Like the Bird for traveling between rooms.

End of Act 2 : When you get to your third piece in the second act, Christina or someone will cue the start of Sister Song. During Sister Song, take groups to the backyard. That is where we will sing Huldravisa while the actors join in on the Loo section.

Costumes – Provided by Xara, to remain on site for the weekend

Wail skirts & shirts with your huldra poncho with a kerchief for hair. There will be stage makeup – TBA. Shoes TBA.
