New Musicals Masterclass
On January 13th, we spent the afternoon with composer Colleen Dauncey, lyricist Akiva Romer-Segal, and bookwriter Matt Murray learning how new musicals are developed, using the lens of their current works: Rumspringa Break! We explored the writing process of creating new musicals and how to develop stories for the stage.
THANK YOU TO ALL WHO PARTICIPATED IN THIS GREAT DAY!
The New Musicals Masterclass is a great opportunity for musical theatre performers to learn more about source material (the scenes and songs), how they come to be and explore approaching them as a performer! Though this Masterclass is open to any youth ages 11-21, we recommend some familiarity with musical theatre performance and encourage everyone to look into the guest artists and the show (keep scrolling for that information below).
EXERCISES IN interpreting and performing new works, writing and delivering jokes, breaking down
a story into scenes and songs, how lyrics fit with the music AND THAT'S JUST THE START!
