Individual expression takes center stage as performers delve into their artistic abilities. This level of performance offers a unique opportunity for individuals to showcase their talent and versatility through captivating solo numbers and dynamic small group numbers. Solos allow performers to embrace the power of their personal agency and let their individuality shine as they bring a song to life, displaying their vocal range, emotional depth, and stage presence. Meanwhile, duets and small group numbers provide an incredible chance for collaboration and chemistry between two or more performers.

Students will learn how to self direct and craft a performance that honors the intention of the songwriter(s) and captivates their audience. We will discuss modern musical vocal techniques and why great acting is always #1. Whether it's a powerful ballad or an upbeat showstopper, this class offer an exhilarating platform for artists to express themselves creatively while honing their skills in storytelling through song.

“All great dramatic literature is an attempt to find commonality among the struggles we face as human beings. It weaves an empathetic thread between the fictional battle of a heroic protagonist and our own real-world struggle to create order out of the chaos of the world. This journey is universal regardless of identity or background. ”

“Most of my work with inexperienced actors comes down to helping them trust that they are enough. ”
