Kids Spring 2021 I Registration: Grades 3-7

This quarter, the students will focus on how to be able to confidently audition at a real musical theatre call that asks for singers, dancers and actors. While our Spring 2020 program focused on singing and Fall 2020 on acting, this Spring, we want to introduce dance into the mix while also continuing the other two aspects of musical theatre. The program will begin with instructors giving the students several monologues. Each student then will pick one they’d like to work on during the semester and then will be assigned a song that pairs well with the monologue, resulting in the student having two complementary pieces that would suit them well in a real-world audition. Additionally, instructors will create a choreography combination that’s taught in recorded videos students can watch on their own time to learn and practice (like a “dance call”). There will be scheduled check-ins on the choreography to offer more in-depth feedback on not just steps and timing but also expression and intention. The final “performance” will be each student performing their monologue and song and then dancing the choreography as one (edited together).

The structure will be far less rigid than the last two semesters. To maximize independent work, there will be a decrease in the actual Zoom time. Students can count on an hour-ish of group Zoom time a week, if that, and expect more one-on-ones with Remy and Myranda.
