The study of Musical Theatre Technique is learning the tools required to perform this theatrical form with truth and depth. Students will explore the connection between actor, character and material through solo and scene work. The course is divided into three units with each unit focused primarily on one or more specific aspects of Musical performance. Through exercises, group work and coachings, students will develop a thorough understanding of each technique and will have the opportunity to demonstrate their understand in a final performance. By the end of the course, students will have further developed vocal and acting skills, explored what it is to perform in a variety of Musical Theatre styles, enlarged their Musical Theatre repertory, deepened their understanding of the Music Theatre form, and pushed beyond preconceived personal limitations.
