Song to be Staged: “The Schuyler Sisters" from Hamilton
Class Description: This progressive series will give you a glimpse into what it is like to stage a production number. You will have the opportunity to focus on practicing performance, stage presence, and storytelling while learning formations, blocking and longer choreography! The goal of this series is to give each dancer the opportunity to learn and perform a musical theater number from beginning to end, telling a whole story with movement, while still enabling you to build confidence and have fun.
Each class within the series will be 2 hours, and will still include a brief warm-up. Class will be taught at an Intermediate pace and level.
WEEKS 1 & 2: We will start each class with a brief warm-up before moving into learning the choreography. We will discuss and explore movement patterns, formation changes, spacing, performance textures and dynamics. At the end of Week 2, we will discuss costumes and how they influence characters and individuality in group numbers.
WEEK 3: We will spend the first half of class reviewing the choreography, cleaning and answering questions and the second half of the class running the combo. Remember, these run-throughs do not have to be perfect as this is still "the rehearsal room." Before these run-throughs, there will be a brief 5 minutes to allow you to change into any costume pieces, hair and make-up that you would like to put on. All run-throughs will be filmed by the Class Manager.
This Series will require some personal practice outside of the studio on your own time.
