This lesson uses video segments from Great Performances: The Little Mermaid from San Francisco Ballet to help students explore the role of the author in relation to his/her work. In the Introductory Activity, students discuss the structure of the original The Little Mermaid tale as they remember it. Students then read the original story and compare their memories to the original text. In the Learning Activity, students examine John Neumeier's artistic interpretation of the classic fairy-tale by looking at two video segments that feature the main characters of the ballet. Finally, for the Culminating Activity, students craft their own contemporary interpretation of a classic fairy-tale (e.g., Snow White, Beauty and the Beast, Sleeping Beauty).

Here are two videos that I've probably watched a couple dozen times each. They're both of the title song from the current Broadway production of Anything Goes.

" Our most ambitious live show ever! (get the video!) We pulled together a massive team of theater pros at the Brooklyn Academy of Music's Opera House - nearly 50 singers, actors, dancers and musicians. The result? Journalism turned into a Broadway musical (the cast album is here), into opera. Mike Birbiglia, Sasheer Zamata, Stephin Merritt, Josh Hamilton, Lindsay Mendez, Lin-Manuel Miranda and others. "

"Have your ever been frustrated building something and mumbled to yourself, "There's got to be a better way"? Then we've got just what you need."

These videos are a companion to my book, "The Prop Building Guidebook: For Theatre, Film, and TV".

r. Bloom talked about his book, Shakespeare: The Invention of the Human, published by Riverhead Books. The book is about Mr. Bloom's belief that "personality, in our sense, is a Shakespearean invention, and is not only Shakespeare's greatest originality, but also the authentic cause of his perpetual pervasiveness."
