Take a deep dive into the WERQ with our full-song, process-based Rehearsal & Performance class.
-
AT Rehearsal and Performance (or “R&P for short) is the class for anyone who wants to feel like a real, actual, WORKING actor again.
This class is ideal for early-career actors who are anxious to dig into work, who are looking to perform full songs in a more serious (but safe!) setting, who are looking to collaborate with other artists and to get new footage for their websites and social media.
Each session focuses on a different area - whether that be a specific COMPOSER (Sondheim, Schwartz, Rodgers & Hammerstein, etc) or a THEME (radio music, comedy songs, Female MT writers, etc). To be the first to know what our next class will be, follow us on Instagram!
-
Five (5) two-hour classes (on a selected day, once per week), where each student gets 10-15 minutes of working time.
Classes will be taught by a rotating roster of Teaching Artists, who have demonstrated experience in the class subject.
During CLASS 1, students have a mock audition(as though auditioning for a musical revue of songs by that session’s composer[s]), singing from their own books and practicing a strategic audition (what songs do you pick to encourage the folx behind the table to see you for the material you see for yourself?) Students will then be “cast”* in two or more songs by the composer(s) and will be assigned that material to work on throughout the 5-week session. *Please note that all songs/roles are open to students of all gender identities.
In classes 2-5, Students will coach the material with Actor Therapy staff & special guest teachers, rehearse their final performance, and then present their material to an audience of invited friends/family and guests from the Actor Therapy community.
A public performance (an invited showcase in a studio space such as Open Jar or AMDA Studios, professionally filmed for your reels).
