WESTERN RESERVE PLAYHOUSE ANNOUNCES THE NEXT COURSE IN THEIR NEW EDUCATION DEPARTMENT - AND IT’S COMING UP QUICKLY *Enhancing Musical Theatre Performance* Instructor: Jacob Bremkamp Dates/Time: January 25th - February 15th / Saturdays - 2:00pm – 3:30pm (4 weeks) Ages: 8th - 12th Grade Cost: $55.00 DEADLINE for registration is 24 hours before the first class (January 24th). This course is designed to help the musical theater performer advance their stagecraft, focusing on three core elements: Specificity, Authenticity, and Vocal Performance. Through one-on-one training, this class will be an intimate group of people who wish to bring in specific songs that they are interested in exploring dramatically (either audition pieces or musical numbers that will challenge them). Once the class is assembled, all participants will bring in sheet music of one full song that they wish to work on throughout the course, along with the choice of a 16 bar cut of audition material they would like to have for their audition books. We will work both one-on-one and as a group, analyzing, interpreting, and ultimately cleaning/polishing final performances of these musical numbers. The goal is to help identify what we connect with on a personal level in the songs we bring to the table, and how we can find new ways of giving them authentic life on stage, utilizing these core elements. This class is for those who are interested in taking their musical theater performance to the next level, and to ultimately help give performers a “boost” in the effectiveness of their unique interpretations of modern and classical musical theater repertoire.
