FINE ARTS Spring Show Features Spirit and Song IWA and St. Thomas students perform Godspell Last spring, Incarnate Word Academy’s Drama department produced the first (we hope!) of many musicals. Godspell, written by John Michael Tebelak with music by Stephen Schwartz, is based on the Gospels, but set in modern times. Tebelak’s motivation in writing this play was to share his vision of Christ, the Incarnate Word: a God Who loves us so much, He is willing to come down and meet us where we are. The drama and choir students of IWA and St. Thomas High School came together to make this vision a reality. Under the direction of Rebecca Gautreau — Drama, Speech and Theology teacher — the students each took part in the retelling of the Gospel parables and stories. While not all of the students knew they could sing and dance when they auditioned, they soon discovered their hidden talents. In the end, all of the students bonded through the process of singing, dancing and laughing their way through the retelling of the life of Christ. IWA Art Among the many projects art teacher, Josie Postel, keeps her students busy with, one of the most anticipated is the crafting of lifesized papier-mâché skeletons in celebration of Dia de los Muertos. Art students are broken into teams of three or four. Together they select a person or group who, during their time on earth, helped change the world for the better. Once completed, the skeletons (which must be able to either stand or sit without assistance) are then displayed throughout the school, typically a week before All Saints Day until a week after. Previous skeletal honorees include: Judy Garland, Gandhi, Elvis Presley, Mother Teresa, Ray Charles, Joan of Arc, and the 9/11 firefighters.
