copying "to the max"



The Snow Queen (Worthing 2012 Version)
Scene
Title
Development Suggestions
1

Grandma’s Introduction

We need to build the 'six senses' in this scene as it introduces the audience to both the play and life for the characters Gerda and Kai before the Snow Queen.

**The audience have to care about them getting this life and their friendship back or there is little point to the story**
  • Better description of the environment.
  • An activity for Kai and Gerda before the story that can show how close they are.
  • Introductory music
2

Snow Queen Kidnaps Kai

We need to establish a distinct change in atmosphere via lighting and sound for the Snow Queens entrance. The dialogue needs additional detail particularly the benefits of living in the snow palace.

**There has to be a plausible benefit for Kai to go with the SQ as he is fascinated by her before she puts ice in his heart**
  • Snow Queen Music or snow sound effects
  • Additional tempting description of Snow Queen Lifestyle in dialogue
  • Design/Make sleigh 
(Jackie in Art is willing to help)

Magic Flower Garden


A playful introduction would improve this scene. Perhaps Gerda could wonder at least for a little while if she should just make new friends whilst being enchanted by the flowers.

**The scene will work best if we feel a bit sorry for the flower witch and the flower girls and if it contrasts more with the other scenes**

  • Demonstrate the girls having fun together before we see the witch
  • Gerda to use '6 senses' to ensure we understand more about the magical garden
  • Find way of making flowers stand!

Snow Queen collects Flower Children


We need this scene to have more clarity. The best way to do this would be to strongly establish an ongoing relationship between the SQ and the Flower Witch.

**This scene is the second time we see the SQ and once again she is abducting children. We have to make her heartless but not too scary!**

  • Reveal Snow Queens bigger plans and the control she has over her magical kingdom
  • Make some reference to life before the Snow Queen's reign
  • Ensure the sleigh can work with two passengers

Palace and the Princess’s Party

Snow Queen Pots & Pans

cold and chiled good idea for the snow queen
this sceen is to let the audence get to know how evil the snow queen reely is . in this sceen the snow queen needs to be quiet and agitated to give the emotion of anger and betrale

Robbers in the Woods



no don't get it why is he threterning gerda with a knife looks like he is stabing her basta$ and the raindear is locked up in our play but i doo like gerdas outfit
in this sceen the robers need to seem half minded  but mischevious they need to come acros as sceeming .
the rober girl needs to be difernt to the rest kind harted and the smartest out of the whole lot
