Showing the beauty of Michigan

Onekama Elementary School students perform
‘My Michigan: A Creative Place’

ASSOCIATE EDITOR

“One could live a lifetime in Michigan

And still have wonder to explore ...
For always ...
There is beauty for the heart that
understands.”
— Gwen Frostic

The late Northern Michigan artist

Gwen Frostic had an incredible ability
to capture the beauty of Michigan in her
works. So it was only natural that Gretchen
Eichberger-Kudlack’s second and third
grade class at Onekama Schools used it as
their inspiration for their performance of
“My Michigan: A Creative Place.” Allie Torey and Taylor Bennett give the

Students did a variety of dances, all in regards to Michigan and inspired by Gwen Frostic’s book.
components of the state such as
industry, flowers, education, trees,
man’s monuments, wildlife, roads,
birds, man and science and water.
Each segment was led into with
words from Frostic’s book and then
put to dance.
“The script is taken right from
the book,” said Eichberger-Kudlack.
“This program is all about embody-
ing what it is like to live here in
Michigan, and all of the wonder-
ful natural resources that make
contributions that make this state
unique. The students did everything
themselves to create all the dance
movements.
When it came to talking about
industry, Allie Torrey told the role it
plays in today’s world.
“Industry provides work,” said
Torrey. “Sometimes intensely cre-
ative. Sometimes very routine, but
always with a return that has cre-
ated the high-test standards of liv-
ing in mankind.”
Flowers were described so well
in the script by Lahailia Buchanen.
Her reading touched on the real
beauty that exists in Michigan’s
flowers.
“For one who finds cosmical
beauty in intimacy of common
things,” said Buchanen. “Flowers by
the roadsides, daisies, black eyed
Susans, the deep blue gentians,
goldenrods, Queen Anne’s lace. And
in the winter mullein stands like
modern candelabra in the fields of
snow.” A happy Shauntelle Wilson bolts across the stage in one of the dance
