"Either I mistake your shape and making quite, or else you are that shrewd and knavish sprite"

Just a week ago, some of the fairies of the wood near Athens gathered at the McPherson Home to workshop some ideas for costumes, props, makeup, movements, music and more! (Lots of people and lots of creativity! Woohoo!!)

One idea discussed was how to characterize each of the fairies, and it was suggested to give each of the fairies a unique personality. Each of the girls shared an idea for what they might like their unique personality characteristic to be. For the fairies who couldn't make the workshop, here is a quick compilation of just some of those attributes..

• the mischievous fairy who is always causing trouble.
• the fairy who is always laughing and giggling to herself.
• the responsible fairy who loyally serves the fairy queen.
• the clumsy fairy who is accidentally knocking into things.
• the bossy fairy who is always giving some sort of order.
• the sleepy fairy who is either quite groggy or snoozing.
• the fairy who never wants to participate in anything.
• the dreamy fairy who is always in her own world.
• the dancing fairy who is always dancing around.

Can you already picture how these fairies will act and relate to each other? The sleepy one yawning, sinking down to the floor and having to be pulled up, while the mischievous one tweaking someone's hair. With each personality comes another level of depth that can be portrayed on the stage. This is going to be a fun play!! Leave a comment if any of you have any ideas on more personalities for the fairies!! Thanks!!
