Class Experience

Welcome to my series: Musicals Behind the Scenes! A collection of one-time classes focused on the design and backstage elements that make our favorite musicals so amazing! 

In this one-time class we will explore the musical "Hamilton: An American Musical" in-depth. Most fans of the musical can sing the songs, and next-level admirers even know some of the moves - but how many can talk about set designer David Korin's use of nautical elements? Or costume designer Paul Tazewell's unique blend of contemporary and historical pieces? In this class - learners will! 

In this class everyone will learn about the costumes, set design, and lighting design for the show through both discussion and visuals on a slide deck. We will explore the design components themselves as well as the designers who created them. Learners will gain knowledge on design elements in theatre, in general - and why they are so valuable in the creation of a visual story. 

In addition to what I provide in class I will drop YouTube links into the classroom to extend learning. I encourage learners to take a look at them to explore more on the topic once class is complete. 

I appreciate that most musical theatre fans love to talk about their passion, so there will be 5-10 minutes of open discussion time at the beginning or end of the class for learners to share what they already know or love about the musical. 

Don't wait for it.... don't throw away your shot - and join us in my most popular class!

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi There!

I am a passionate  theatre educator, currently working as a theatre director, stage manager and online instructor here on Outschool! 

I have my Bachelors degree in Theatre and my Masters degree in Drama Education.

I have worked in a variety of amazing and interesting jobs including touring as the assistant stage manager with a theatre company across Switzerland! For 3 years I was the Theatre Department director of a high school, teaching all the theatre courses and directing the plays, musicals and summer camp shows. I also have spent time working for children's theatre companies as an outreach director for underserved schools. For the past few years though I have found a love for teaching about the wonderful world of theatre, online. I love working with young people in theatre and helping them find their creative voice. 

My courses range from fun deep dives into favorite musicals, to readers theatre clubs. 

All of my classes are inclusive, fun and have a "we are all family" feel. Everyone is welcome, everyone's thoughts matter, and I invite each learner to bring their passions and authentic selves to my online classroom. My goal is to always create a space of belonging for everyone who enrolls. 

Policies*
Late arrival/missed classes/recordings:

Classes with 2+ students enrolled: 
Once at least one student has arrived in the classroom I will begin class. In the event that no students enter the classroom I will wait 10 minutes before closing the classroom. Please let me know if you are running late so I know to wait longer for you! If a student misses a class that ran with multiple students you can always reach out to request the video recording. Please request this via message to me. The "request recording" button does not actually go to the teachers, so I won't know you requested it. 

Please note if you miss 3 ongoing classes in a row, Outschool automatically withdraws you from the class. 

Classes with 1 student:
For one-time classes (such as my "working in theatre" or "Musical Theatre Hits" courses) I will sometimes run a class even with just 1 student. For these classes I will wait 10 minutes and then will close the classroom if the student does not arrive. No class will be recorded. Please let me know if you are running late so I know to wait longer if needed! If you miss a class that had only your student enrolled I cannot accommodate transfers.
