Ivory Tower - Theatre Program
Theater Arts
These courses develop acting and theater skills using Broadway and Children’s Theater repertoire. Students will learn plays, skits, monologue, voice technique, theater terminology, & set/prop building. Theater make~up and costuming are also fun aspects of this program. These classes are terrific self~confidence builders, and are offered for all ages and levels.
Musical Theater
Dancing for Musical Theater
These 6 week programs will run through the dance year. Classes will combine techniques from jazz, tap, and lyrical. Students will learn presentation techniques, use of contrast, audition techniques, ensemble and chorus performing. We will prepare one or two musical numbers over the course of each session aiming at performance quality by the end of the session. The class will not include vocal training, but students will be singing. They need not be good, but they must sing!
Requirements: Some dance experience. Classes will be tailored to the level/age of students that enroll. Students will need to purchase some kind of character shoes by midway through the session. Class is 1 hour per week.
Performances
Theater classes will be performing in both our Holiday and Spring
Showcases this year. We are planning to invite our Theater students to participate in some staging activities such as props, costuming and make~up. This will be on a volunteer basis.
