Pups_mum Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Yes, I know this is a weird question, but can anyone think of either a character solo for a girl or a boy/girl character duet that would require a piratey treasure chest thing as a prop? Obviously it's more usual to put the dance before the prop, but on this occasion I really need to find a use for a rather splendid treasure chest that my husband has kind of accidentally made....it's a long story.....any suggestions gratefully received!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurora Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Perhaps something Peter-pan-ish?! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toursenlair Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 or something Le Corsaire-ish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxi4ballet Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 (edited) Aladdin? Edited to add - just remembered, dd's dance school show had a very effective group ballet dance to the theme from Pirates of the Caribbean ps: how can you 'accidentally' make a treasure chest?!!!

primrose Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 I was also going to say pirates of the caribbean, wow you could do all sorts with that one and the use of facial expression could be fantastic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pups_mum Posted January 14, 2013 Author Share Posted January 14, 2013 Thanks for the ideas - keep them coming please. He made it for someone else, but lets just say he didn't check the design brief carefully enough! It's a very nice treasure chest....just not what was actually needed, so now DD and I are trying to think of some way to put his hours of hard work to good use! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 If the chest is big enough to get one or both of them in it, could they emerge as toys from the toy box coming alive in the deserted nursery as the clock strikes midnight? Or could the chest be the tooth fairy's store for her hoard of teeth and she goes about collecting more from sleeping children? Tell us what you decide to do!

Balletgirlsplease Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Solo - Ariel from the little mermaid if its a young girl. I can't remember the title of the song. 'Look at this stuff, isn't it neat, wouldn't you think my collections complete etc... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2dancersmum Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 DD's school show had treasure chest with girl emerging from it and dress up costumes inside. Inspired by the ballet Pineapple Poll, which might give you further ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shimmer Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Leprechaun? My sister did this a couple of years ago - hunting for gold coins and catching a glimpse of gold only for it to be a leaf, button etc. Then finally she found the big pot of gold! Great for facial expressions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tulip Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 What about Indiana Jones when he finaly finds the treasure. How old are the dancers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pups_mum Posted January 16, 2013 Author Share Posted January 16, 2013 Thanks for all the ideas everyone. I shall pass them on to DD and her teacher and let you know what the outcome is. She's nearly 15 so some of the ideas might be a bit young for her ( I should have said, sorry) though I think the tooth fairy could be done by an older girl as a comedy piece and quite like that idea. I think DD is leaning towards a pirates of the carribean theme though, and there is certainly some excellent music in the films isn't there?We'll have to see what her teacher thinks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
