How do you say HEYOKAH?

After Bill's show on Saturday night (an incredible mime show about silence), several people approached Bill and asked how to pronounce the word "Heyokah."  Because of this, Bill realized that we should probably include a "pronunciation guide" in our piece.  But instead of standing around and saying the word over and over so that the audience can hear it, we decided to create a dance.  Here are the highlights:



 You begin by saying "HEY!" As in, "Hey you!  Bring back my wallet!"

 Next, say "O!" Like, "O my, it sure is a beautiful morning!"


 Finally, say "KAH,"  Like the sound a crow makes.



 Put them all together, and you have HEY - O - KAH!

 Spelling has never been so much fun!

Is there anything that you are curious about?  Do you want to know more about the Heyokah?  Or about the rehearsal process?  I will do my best to answer all of your questions!

  1. Why don't we do spelling like this is school? I would ace my vocab tests if we did!

    As for th project itself, I'm curious about all of it, but I think I'll just wait and see the show to be amazed....
