These 90-minute classes offer all-round training in stagecraft, including singing, acting, dance and movement and are ideal for students (7 – 14 years) who enjoy performing, but do not wish to take grade exams.
Incorporating current trends in contemporary music as well as musical theatre, emphasis is on performance. Following warm-up and class work, students will work on a set piece to be presented to parents at the studio every term.
Performance classes are an outlet for expression in a freestyle situation, whilst learning valuable performance techniques, including, vocal projection and placement, breath control, improvisation and scripted dialogue, dance styles and choreography.
