Fame and High School Musical
As part of the Tweenagers training I was delivering on Saturday I showed a clip of "High School Musical" and asked people to reflect on why it has massive appeal to Tweens.
The Youth worker (Andy of Essex) I was musing with was interested in the talent-without-effort aspect i.e how the character Zac could sing and perform perfectly despite never having done that before. Andy also contrasted this with 'Fame' from the 80's and how that exploration of fame/success was focused around effort and discipline, "This is where you start to pay the cost!"
It's a thought!
