Musical Theater: Scenes and Songs From The Little Mermaid
Ready, set, action! In this course, you’ll study scenes and songs from The Little Mermaid, learning important skills like scene work, choreography, and ensemble and solo singing along the way. We’ll use theater games and improvisation to build your listening skills, empathy and flexibility, and introduce the concept of side coaching. You’ll take a close-up look at various well-known musical theater characters to explore their journey in the story and how they communicate using song and dance. You’ll practice and perform a variety of songs, monologues and scenes, with a focus on memorization, role playing, and vocal and physical expression. On the final day of class, you’ll have the chance to share your work from the past two weeks with family and friends.
NOTE: This is a skill-building course and does not culminate in a performance.
