LION KING PANEL DISCUSSION & PERFORMANCE

Four students won a raffle to attend the last Friday night performance of the Lion King in Boston-March 19, 2010. We got an exceptional backstage tour with Brigette Dunn and met a number of the cast members. Pictured: Johnston Thach, Sabrina Dorsainvil, "Pumba", Brigette Dunn, Tabbytha Ferguson and Marcia Roseme.

The cast and crew of the Lion King: Hair, Make Up, Performers, Lighting and Sound engaged students in a lively panel discussion.

The panel discussion revolved around work in specific areas of the production: wardrobe, hair, make up, sound, lighting, and performers and how each member got their start in the arts.

Brigette Dunn-Korpela directed the panel discussion and is female dance captain with Disney's THE LION KING North American Tour. She is also the daughter of Sharon Dunn, faculty in Studio Foundation.

The cast has requested that the stipend for their talk be donated to the Red Cross' Haiti relief efforts.

This is a part of an ongoing program sponsored by the Academic Compass
Program at MassArt. We promote and support visiting artists, exhibits,
and lectures that create dialogue and understanding around issues of
diversity in the arts.
