ENVIRONMENTAL SENSORY ADVISORY

Below are some environmental aspects of these programs and their activities. While there are elements we do not always have the ability to adapt for every experience, we are happy to discuss and explore potential options for your child should these or other aspects of the process raise concerns. 

• Loud Sounds – These programs will often involve amplified music and sounds. Individuals’ voices may also become amplified through use of microphones. There will be many kids singing, speaking, and playing together in large groups that can create a noisy environment.
• Bright Lights – Participants will be performing on stage under theatrical lighting. These lights are bright and often shine from multiple angles. We will also often be under fluorescent “work lights” for most of the day. 
• Large Groups – These programs are typically large group activities that involve many kids together at once in a shared space (often around 30+ kids)

In this class, you will learn technical and artistic skills and gain performance experience by rehearsing group musical numbers and scenes, as well as some individual/solo work. The musical numbers and scenes developed in class will be performed in a showcase at the end of the semester. There will also be opportunities to perform these numbers at other community events such as First Night.

New to Musical Theatre? No previous experience necessary!

Already been in dozens of musicals? There’s always more to learn and experiences to be challenged by!

Through student-led and evidence-based practices customized to individual and group learning goals these group sessions will teach, develop, and workshop abilities in the core areas of performance for musical theatre:

• Singing
  • Using evidence-based voice pedagogies that integrate voice science and physiological function/development, student-led goals, and the teacher’s own vocal expertise to guide students to efficient, sustainable, and artistically fulfilling singing.
  • Exploring styles of singing used in contemporary musical theatre.
  • Practice in group singing including vocal harmonies, group blending, articulation, & dynamics.
  • Solos within group numbers to develop experience and confidence in “stepping forward” from the ensemble.
• Dancing
  • Technical practice and development of individual’s physical dance expertise in both more Western traditional (ballet/jazz) and contemporary (hip hop/modern) styles, and exploring how they are all practiced in musical theater performance today.
  • Developing artistry in storytelling through movement.
  • Group choreography experiences practicing learned choreography and developing spatial relationships onstage (formations).
• Acting / Performance
  • Analyzing and connecting written text (dialogue, music, & lyric) with physical text (voice and movement).
  • Character development and embodiment.
  • Readiness for improvisation and creative spontaneity on stage.
  • Directing audience engagement and focus by creating dynamic and expressive stage pictures.
