The
      script
      of
      Typecasting
      is
      based
      on
      hours
      of
      taped
     
     
      interviews
      with
      Island
      newcomers,
      and
      on
      several
     
     
      days’
      observance
      of
      Charlottetown
      secondary
      school
     
     
      classes.
      The
      choreography
      is
      set
      to
      music
      that
     
     
      ranges
      from
      Third
      World
      folk
      traditions
      to
     
     
      contemporary
      North
      American
      rock.
      While
      the
     
     
      words
      examine
      the
      issues,
      the
      dance
      pieces
      portray
     
     
      the
      memories,
      feelings,
      thoughts,
      and
      energy
      of
      the
     
     
      young
      people;
      creating
      graphic,
      indelible
      images
      of
     
     
      cultures
      colliding
      and
      coming
      together.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Typecasting
      is
      designed
      specifically
      for
      students
      in
     
     
      Grades
      Seven
      through
      Twelve.
      However,
      as
      it
      looks
     
     
      at
      issues
      central
      to
      the
      immigrant
      experience,
      both
     
    
   
   
    
     
      -
      Shows
      are
      $2.50
      per
      student.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      through
      the
      eyes
      of
      the
      newcomer
      and
      of
      those
      who
     
     
      are
      already
      here,
      its
      appeal
      is
      more
      far-ranging
      than
     
     
      this
      age
      group.

      a
