Program

Students will hear the words and music, see the multimedia visuals and dance, and interact with the characters. The result is many levels of learning. Dance areas include the elements of dance, and how combining dance with technology in this timeless story enhances the storyline while creating moods and atmospheres. Participation and performing in this production, as either the “Horners” or “Hoppers” is possible when combined with one of our residency programs ONTO THE STAGE with the theme of working towards “The Patchwork Girl of Oz.” The production can also be attended as a Field Trip, and there are participatory sections. With dance, narration, music, computer technology, and video combined with fanciful costumes, the original 1913 book and this production have created a most modern female character in the title role. Students will identify with the leading character of Ojo, a young boy who grows up through his adventures. The production has toured the west to enthusiastic reviews.
