Okay...Here are my World Rythems ideas!
The Caribbean Plaza Stage usually just looks like a bump on the landscape, but at sunset, watch as it comes alive with music, pyrotechnics, and special effects! The jagged-rocky edged stage is full of surprises! All day, when nothing is occuring on the stage, the area is closed off to guests. During this time, pyro's are loaded, lights are checked, paint jobs are made, and any other refurbishments needed occur. By the time the stage is all ready, the guests have lined up for the show! Gates open and the guests pour into this fresh, like-new small amphitheater. They have an option of sitting (in the 240 seats) or standing in the lush jungle surrounded area. While the guests wait for the shows to start, fog is constantly being pumped up from the stage and down from the bamboo truss above onto the stage to create a curtain of fog. Jungle patterened Gobo's (disks used to project a pattern with Theatrical lighting) are being projected onto the fog, creating a more decorative curtain. About two minutes before the show starts, the fog quits but the gobos still project until the fog is cleared. The announcer blabs about the show, then it begins!
SCENE ONE: Native Tribe.
A tribe of "African native's" join in a sacred ritual (made up) on stage. A large bonfire sits at center stage, with skulls on spears around it. The rhythm of the tribe's feet stomping on the stage floor and their claps make the music for this scene.
SCENE TWO: Primative Percussion.
More African's join on stage with thier drums, moroccos, xylophones, maribmas, and other percussion instruments to create an outstanding ethnic percussion emsemble.
SCENE THREE: Film Journey's
A water screen rises out of the rocks at the front of the stage for this scene to occur on. Many different film clips are projected onto this throughout the scene. These clips are:
1. Hahu Wahe Ha Ho Ho Ho (Finding Nemo)
2. Hakuna Matata (The Lion King)
3. Yo Ho Yo Ho... (Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl)
4. Indiana Jones Theme (Indiana Jones series)
5. Arabian Nights (Aladdin)
6. Two Worlds (Tarzan)
SCENE FOUR: One by One.
A performance of the entra-act of "The Lion King on Broadway" called One by One. The birds would be manipulated from behind the audience, in the aisles, and on stage. The water projection screen would also shrink and would have video clips from around the Sahara and Sarengeti shown (sunrise, giraffes, lions, flocks of birds, etc.)
SCENE FIVE: Oriental Exploration.
Oriental people slowly enter the stage and take thier places with their instruments (mostly percussion). One of them counts off in Chinese and the song beings, very slow (tempo would start at about 50) by the end of the 5 minute showcase of Oriental music, the tempo would be up to about 180. The song would end with a loud gong ringing.
SCENE SIX: Religious matters.
The natives are back! By now it is dark outside. The stage is covered with fog, and strobes flash over the audience and on stage to create lightning (with the thunder booming over the sound system). As the storm seems to get closer and closer, a lighning bolt strikes the stage (a pyro goes off, throwing sparks everywhere and catching the stage on fire). Some of the fire will be real (not really burning the stage though, and some will be the fake, fabric flame effects. Projections will be made to be coordinated with the fire that are projected onto the fake flames to make ancient Oriental and African gods appear in the flames. The fog grows thicker as the fire grows with it, and now images are being shown in the fog of more gods. Suddenly, a heavy rain begins to pour down on the stage and the water projection screen grows for more gods. Throughout this scene, African, Oriental, and Middle Eastern style music are played.
Okay. These are just what I have come up with. You can add to it, subtract, etc. Tell me what you think!
