Classes and Workshops
Classes teach students a variety of audition techniques, proper breathing and vocal techniques, articulation, projection, and voice variation. Additionally, children explore movement and space, understanding how to effectively use them to enhance storytelling. Students also gain knowledge of blocking, learning how to stage a scene to engage and captivate an audience.
Musical theatre classes teach choreography, harmonization, and vocal placement for healthy projection. Students learn to merge all of these skills together to be effective actors while singing and dancing.
