Through the instruction of an experienced musical theater actor, students will learn the fundamentals of musical theater (acting, voice, and dance) through fun and engaging activities and exercises in a fun and nurturing environment! Each activity will target a different acting, voice, or dance fundamental skill while also touching on other reading comprehension, verbal, social, and emotional skills. Learners will delve into building characters, using the body, face, and voice to effectively express a specific character, scene work, vocal physiology, acting the song, and the basics of musical theater dance and choreography. Through these activities, learners will come out with a greater understanding of themselves, the world of musical theater, and creativity! The class will also provide students with an opportunity to interact with each other and the instructor on a regular basis. This will include group exercises, scene work, and class discussions, which will help students learn to work as a team and build their social and verbal skills.
