It is designed to provide rigorous musical theatre training, firmly rooted in the belief that the up-and-coming performer must be well-rounded and strong in acting, singing, dance, movement, voice, emotional recall, spoken word to song transitions, theory, history – all while understanding the human condition and human behaviour. Essentially, we strive to mentor and inspire personal growth in our young performers, with skills and benefits that far exceed the stage.
Designed for the young, pre-professional actor, with strong skills in singing and the desire to work on all aspects of musical theatre, the syllabus combines current contemporary techniques with performance approaches of the masters. By completing this innovative program, students will have acquired a competitive edge to apply to the best musical theatre tertiary-level programs or audition and compete in the professional industry. With their honed skills, they will be prepared to withstand the vigorous journey ahead of them in their careers.
With focused and individualized, guidance and support, the Pre-Professional Musical Theatre Program will allow students to gain a better understanding of strengths and areas needing growth and improvement in their craft. At the end of each semester, students will be assessed and provided with a detailed report outlining the year’s progress and next steps.
