Musical Theatre
Calling all triple-threats!
Sing a story. Our program builds the skills necessary to connect music with story. Pitch, tone and breathing fundamentals are complemented by lessons in interpreting lyrics and conveying the meaning of a song.
Act it out. Our instructors use scene work and rehearsals to guide students through techniques for conveying the dramatic intent of a scene, such as expression, gestures, blocking, and vocal inflection.
Add dance to the drama. As they work towards their ensemble piece, students introduce movement and dance to their performance. They work both from their own improvised movements and from group choreography.
Final showcase video.
Our program culminates in a final showcase from our student ensemble. Chosen by the students from a selection of popular musicals, the performance is recorded for posterity and the video shared with participating families so they can partake in the fun.
