Audition Workshop
with Markus Hauck
$20
This comprehensive 2-hour seminar will focus on everything you need to know to prepare for your audition, from formatting your C.V. (resume) to choosing an appropriate song and selecting an effective 16-bar excerpt. We will also talk about the day of the audition - what to wear, warming up, how to communicate with the accompanist, body language etc. Whether you are planning to try out for the school play or audition for a local theater company, you will learn how to present yourself in a professional way.  You may bring suggestions for songs (with sheet music), your C.V., and an outfit to receive feedback.  Open to ages 11+.  15 slots available.

Sat., February 9, 1-4pm
Audition Masterclass

All participants must be present for the entire duration of the class (3 hours including break). Accompanist will be provided.  Open to high school students.  10 slots available.

Auditioning for Musical Theatre - An Interactive Master Class
Want to do your best at your next musical theater audition?  Have an audition piece in mind that you'd like some constructive, educational feedback on?  This workshop will take each student from choosing an appropriate audition thru preparation techniques (singing & acting), and ultimately target performance level auditioning. Instructor: John O'Neil

Performance Enhancement Workshop - Learn "Mental Toughness" Secrets for Actors
Like elite athletes, actors have to perform in high visibility, high pressure situations.  Performance research has demonstrated that 50-95% of success in high level sports can be attributed to mental factors known collectively as "Mental Toughness".  The same can be said for acting.  This workshop will allow you to learn techniques employed by top athletes to help them stay at the top of their game. Instructor: Pamela Enders, Ph.D.
