- August 4, 2017
Backstage is a Canadian teen drama that explores the ups and downs of performing arts high school students. In season 2 episode 2, entitled "Leading By Example," the students of Keaton School of the Arts are seemingly at a crossroads in their lives. As they struggle to find their footing in a world that's constantly changing, they look to their peers, mentors and teachers for advice and guidance.
The episode centers around the students' participation in a leadership workshop, where they are taught how to become better leaders and mentors. As the students engage in various exercises aimed at boosting their confidence and communication skills, we get a glimpse into the different ways in which they approach leadership.
The three central characters in this episode are Bianca, Sasha and Carly. Bianca is a confident and outgoing student who takes charge of any situation she finds herself in. However, her leadership skills are put to the test when she is made captain of the school's basketball team. She struggles to find the right balance between being a supportive team leader and being too demanding of her teammates.
Sasha, on the other hand, is a shy but talented musician who struggles with stage fright. She is asked to lead a group of younger students in a music workshop, and must confront her fears in order to inspire and guide them. Meanwhile, Carly is a student who is struggling to find her place in the school. She is hesitant to take on a leadership role, but eventually realizes that she has something valuable to offer and steps up to the plate.
Throughout the episode, we see how the students' different approaches to leadership affect not only themselves, but also those around them. Some students are natural-born leaders, while others need a little more encouragement and guidance. Ultimately, the episode emphasizes the importance of leading by example, and how one's actions can inspire others to reach their full potential.
As with all episodes of Backstage, season 2 episode 2 is full of drama, humor, and memorable musical performances. The show offers an honest and relatable portrayal of the challenges faced by high school students, particularly those who are passionate about the arts. It is a must-watch for anyone who loves music, theater, and dance, as well as anyone who enjoys a good teen drama.
