SOUNDTRACK
FOR ALL SHOWS
Scene One
Scene 1:
Dancer Scene: 1
Title: The Perfect Beginning
Track: Forever
Time: 3:23
Cast: Dancer opening
Models: 0
Dancers: 6
Link: https://youtu.be/03nR6eWanXs
Concept Map:
FOREVER/AHHH/PLAYFUL TEA TIME/MECHANICAL/ HEART BEATS/ STRETCHING INTO LIFE/BIRTH
I feel this needs to just focus on the perfect creation of the characters/Dancers and then fade out at 2:00 minutes into King or Queen's monologue while the characters /dancers remain in place, frozen until the next scene the entire time. If it doesn't fade out it can play through if the choreographer insists. However, it will be more taxing for dancers as they won't have a rest outside of freezing still during the 1st scene change.
Designer Concept:
Should this turn into the inclusion of an extra designer scene (as we may run out and need more room) The clothing of the models would need to be along the lines of pure, or futuristic, that’s gonna go along with the color scheme of white, sackcloth, silver, anything that suggest untainted.
Costume for the dancers will be Realistic danceable Toys coming found in a toy box. Dancers will not change until after the second scene: The Problem by Dollhouse. They will be frozen after Scene 1 and then come back to life for the choreography in Scene 2.
Dancer Concept:
All types of dancers, including but not limited to Ballet, hip-hop, pantomime, and lyrical.
Description concept:
We were created to live forever. Hence the soul and its role. It is only the suit that we put on, it’s the flesh that we embody that is the life that we choose to live.
What is death? What is life? What is this soul who wishes to leave one suit and transform into another? Is the soul dissatisfied, curious, deserving, or learning?
Have you ever wished you could have another life? Like toys in a toy box, with their desire to have a new life, to experience something new. These toys are trapped in a pin. They are tired of being lost, broken, and neglected. They want another life.
Scene Two
Scene 2:
Dancer Scene: 2
Title: The Problem
Track: Dollhouse
Time: 3:52
Cast: dancers from Scene 1 and runway models
Models: 10
Dancers: 6
Link: https://youtu.be/l2tJeitlndw
Concept Map:
TOYS FROM TOY BOX COME TO LIFE TO A WICKED WORLD/WIND-UP DOLLS/ DRESS/COME TO LIFE WHEN ALONE/ SECRET/ PICTURE FRAMES/ POSE/ SEE THINGS/ SHADES/ BLINDED/PLASTIC/ WALLPAPER/ DOLLS/ ACTING/PERFECT/ CURTAIN
Toys have come to Life in Scene 1 and now in Scene 2 they are awakened to a harsh truth. They portray all of the realities that humans experience when innocence and good intentions should be present, but darker secrets lie behind perfection.
Designer Concept:
Models should be wearing outfits that represent perfection, streamlined, doll, face, or ballroom gown Barbie glamour. Models should have accessories ranging from sashes that read perfection, pageant flowers, crowns, and lanterns with doll house decor inside.
Dancer Concept:
All types of dancers, including but not limited to Ballet, hip-hop, and lyrical. The same dancers dressed as toys from scene one should be the only dancers in scene 2.
Description Concept:
The toys are now alive and well, but they are exposed to the truth of the human experience and its harsh realities. Sometimes we experience traumatic plights that could plant a seed in the heart. The machine has fed us a problem. Will we face it or will it cause us to turn?
Scene Three
Scene 3:
Dancer scene: N/A unless requested
Title: The Turn
Track: Don't look back
Time: 3:52
Cast: Runway models only
Models: 10
Dancers: 0
Link: https://youtu.be/C6n5WDk6HYQ
Concept Map:
SUN/SHADES/LOOK/HORROR/ VICTIM/RED/ BLOOD/ANIMAL/FUR/ CHASE/RUNNER/TRACK/ FAST
Designer Concept:
I recommend a designer who can pull a vibe. The same selection of clothing is completely open to audition. I recommend the coolness of a TrackStar mixed with the creepiness of a Michael Jackson's Thriller. I also recommend steampunk goggles for shades.
Dancer Concept: N/A
Description Concept:
What story could these eyes tell? When the human experience unveils itself, it breeds fear of life. Why are we so afraid? What are we afraid of? Are we truly the victim or have we become the villain? What happens when your fear consumes you? It turns you!
Scene Four
Scene 4:
Dancer Scene 3:
Title: Caught
Track: Blood upon Snow
Dance scene #3: solo or group
Time: 4:32
Cast: Dance Pre-scene only
Models: 0
Dancers: 1 solo or small flag group
Link: https://youtu.be/wV0ejaIA8Wo
Concept Map:
INNOCENCE/BALANCE/JOY/PAIN/VICTIM IS THE VILLAIN/ WHITE/SNOW/SILENCE/RED/BLOOD/VIOLENCE
Designer Concept:
There was no joy without sorrow. I would recommend a beautiful white flowing outfit with bloodstained or wearing a red ribbon around it. Possibly using a red flag 🚩 or ribbon to represent bloodstain.
Dancer Concept:
Lyrical or praise group with flags or ribbon
Description Concept:
Are you running with fear or are you running from it? After running from the truth, do you realize that you’ve been caught in the lie? There is a clear understanding of how life works. It is not fair, and it is not for the faint at heart. In this life, we lose, we win, we learn, and we balance.
Scene Five
Scene 5:
Dancer Scene 4:
Title: Realities
Track: United In Grief
Time: 4:15
Cast: Runway Models and key dancers
Models: 10
Dancers: 3
Link: https://youtu.be/fVIEXveqh2Y
Concept Map:
TRUTH/ PARADISE/GRIEVING/ LIFETIME/INDIVIDUALITY/ FITTING IN/FEAR/ REVERSE PREDATOR/THERAPY/TIME/MENACE/RELIGION/ MATERIAL WEALTH/CHAINS/WATCHES/JEWELRY/EXPENSIVE TO HIDE PAIN
Designer Concept:
This scene is an open concept so it feels like people walking in the city. This calls for a Designer, Boutique, or Stylist who can design or style what they feel towards the music keeping in mind what the song is about addressing grief and the cold hard truth. It is hinted in the lyrics that tangible riches and jewelry are used as distractions and to cover up the pain.
Dancer Concept:
All types of dancers, including but not limited to Ballet (0:24 - on piano drops) hip-hop, and lyrical. At least one B-boy dancer (1:28 - 1:50)!
Description Concept:
We realize that everyone is affected by grief and pain differently. For Some of us, it brings out the monster, while for others, it makes us run and hide. But in the dark, here are some who stand to fight.
Scene Six
Scene 9:
Dancer Scene 8:
Title: The Escape
Track: They want it, but no
Time: 2:37

Models: 10
Dancers: 3-5
Link: https://youtu.be/hAct7P54sgI
Concept Map:
JUNGLE/FIGHT FOR MY SOUL/SMOKE/ARMY/RESCUE MISSION/REBEL AGAINST OFFICER
Designer Concept:
I strongly recommend powerful, exotic versions of army fatigue, and leather strap, pointed/puff-sleeved fashion soldiers, on a mission in the jungle of darkness to retrieve lost souls.
Dancer Concept:
Limited to hip-hop, pantomime, and lyrical.
Description Concept:
You are ready! You have learned your lessons and it’s time to get out of here and head toward victory. Let’s go! You have learned to use your fear as a resource. You are in a rescue mission!!
Scene Seven
Scene 10:
Dancer Scene 9:
Title: Connection
Track: Memory
Time: 3:37
Cast: Solo Dancer should be able to go from ballet to lyrical and then be joined by other dancers
Models: 0
Dancers: 1-3
Link: https://youtu.be/_xsIgndGq2U
Concept Map:
NO WORDS/
AN EMOTIONAL AND PERSONAL RELEASE FROM PAIN
Designer Concept:
There are no runway models, but each dancer should be back in their original scene 1 and 2 costumes depicting characters from a toy box.
Dancer Concept:
The full cast of principal dancers. All types of dancers, including but not limited to Ballet, hip-hop, pantomime, and lyrical.
This will be a great place for all the dancers at some point, some solo or a small group solo, and they exchange coming through telling their stories and together regaining their power! They understand life now!! They came to know themselves and spread the message of love!
Any other dance groups that are participating should be getting ready for the finale of the next scene with flags and candles.
Description Concept:
You are at the door of a great awakening! You have made a personal and very emotional alignment with the mind, body, and soul. You understand your purpose and mission. Congratulations. You have arrived. Welcome to the New You.
Scene Eight
Scene 11:
Dancer Scene 10:
Title: Victory
Track: Spirit
Time: 4:37
Cast: Full cast Finale
Models: 30 (Full cast finale )
Dancers: ALL principles and groups (Full cast finale )
Link: https://youtu.be/civgUOommC8
Concept Map:
LIGHT/ FLAME/ HEAVENS OPEN/ SPIRIT CALLING/MAGIC/ GALLANT/ REGAL/DESTINY/VICTORY
Designer Concept:
STRUT boutique will be supplying formal beaded gowns men will wear tuxedos ( prom gowns and tux are definitely allowed to bring if you are a teen)
Dancer Concept:
This is a full-cast mega ending. This is going to be one for the books! We definitely want to see flag dancers and praise dancers in this scene so it would be great if an actual church group was responsible for the praise dancers and flag dancers to accomplish rehearsals.
Description Concept:
The scene should open up with dancers, looking remade and new!
0:29 models release 0:30 0:56 principles should each rise up in sets of two on each side of the stage so the view is balanced.
01:08 - 01:32 is the chorus with praise dancers it would be cool if everyone froze like mannikins until there were vocals to move to. This will help to reinforce the toys coming to life.
Models, who exit from the runway, should find a place to rest and freeze in a pose while holding their candles in their hands when they have completed their catwalk, Instead of returning to back-of-house.
The goal is to start the finale stack of parallel lines while still being able to see the dancers perform.
The goal would be by the last chorus, 03:05 all models will be in their places, and the dancers could start making their performance down to the center of the models towards the top of the stage and center of the models. 03:05 - 4:37
Here is the Finale bow to practice:
04:05 Cross left foot over right, land foot on the word “to” at 04:07
Raise right hand overhead on the words “far off” and set in delicate bow hand manner on word “land” at 04:10
Everyone will bow on “I am” at 04:15 and hold down 4 counts rise to reset left leg in military stance and hold 8 counts looking extremely powerful!!!
Great work everyone!!
Scene Twelve
Everyone shoul be in place from grand finale. MC will call curerent Mr/Miss STRUT Forward hold a crown, robe, flowers and sash.
They will announce who the next Mr./Miss STRUT Co-Producer will be. They will walk up and tell us what their cause platform for the next years showcase will be about!
