SYNOPSIS: Participants will gain a better understanding of their whole voice and body connection, and a stronger level of confidence in their audition, callback, performance, and presentation skills.
MONOLOGUES - Master your monologue! Having the right monologue is key to showcasing your abilities as an actor. We will match actors with audition material that makes them shine, building strong and exciting characters. You will know how to stage yourself with physical choices that tell your story every time and learn to be comfortable with both movement and stillness so your body knows what to do at every moment. Class work will also concentrate on tricks to relax you, helping you focus more on storytelling as well as discovering how to move through introductions and transitions with confidence.
MUSIC - Learning to prepare an audition is an essential skill for any aspiring theater artist. This class will focus on supporting students in presenting a strong audition that showcases their skills and talent. Participants will work on their singing technique and will be provided with one-on-one coaching in class. Participants will come away at the conclusion of the workshop with a musical theater song that is audition-ready.

SYNOPSIS: 5-6-7-8 and All That Jazz! This dance-packed workshop will focus on technique, flexibility, and combinations in varying dance styles like Musical Theatre, Ballet, Jazz, Hip Hop, and Tap. You'll work on honing your dance auditions skills, creating and embodying dancin' characters, dance improv, and work through a mock audition. Didn't I mention it is dance-packed!? Bring your dance shoes (if you have them - tennis shoes or socks are great too), comfortable/form fitting clothes to move in, tons of water, and a light snack (you'll refuel, then keep moving). By the end of the week, 5-6-7-8 will be your countdown for everything and you'll understand that kicking yourself in the head is a huge accomplishment.
