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)
3	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!
4	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
5	Palace and the Princess’s Party	i think this went really well and matt was funny when he performed the king. There was good improv but some definate lines need to be drafted and used so that there aren't people talking over each or just one person doing most of the talking
6	Snow Queen Plots & Plans	this needs to be worked on so that it is more dramatic and prolonged. I also need to work on my connection with Kai so that it seems more real to the audience.
7	Robbers in the Woods	Some of the logistics of this need to be worked on eg... how they get hold of the key to unlock the cage, does the crow get ir or the robber girl?
8	Journey to Lapland
9	Minion Reports	I think in this scene i need to be a bit more harsh with the minion to get across my darker side. also i think it would be better if we had more space to maneuover so that when i freeze the minion there is more space for her to try and get away.
10	Finn Man’s Wisdom & the Gossips
11	Ice Palace Rescue & Release	This scene needs to be worked on more, i think we need some designated moves in a routine so that everyone knows what they are doing and it looks more neat.
