They’ll see how the language in the scenes, dance styles, and music completely changes with each decade. We’ll hand jive through the 50’s, twist through the 60’s, do the hustle through the 70’s and beyond. AFTERNOON CLASS| 12:30pm to 3:30pm [REGISTER ONLINE] From Improv to Script This class will begin with theatre games and improv exercises. Through these exercises, students will build their ability to think quickly on their feet and engage with their scene partners in a more meaningful way. Students will be given improv prompts that will ultimately turn into longer, scripted pieces. The group will develop a short play together that will be presented on the last day of the class.

MORNING CLASS | 9:00am to 12:00pm [REGISTER ONLINE] Dance and Movement for Musicals Today’s musical theatre performers must be able to dance. Years ago, there were dancing choruses and singing choruses. This is not the case today. In order to get cast, you need to be able to do it all. In this class, students will begin each day focusing on proper dance technique. From there they will study and learn about various dance styles including works by popular and highly stylized musical theatre choreographers like Bob Fosse and Michael Bennett. We will also spend time looking at stage combat and other movement qualities that bring characters to life on stage. We will apply the skills acquired to scenes and songs from a variety of musicals. AFTERNOON CLASS| 12:30pm to 3:30pm [REGISTER ONLINE] Audition Song and Monologue Selection and Coaching In this class, students will learn how to build a repertoire of pieces they can use for auditions and solo performances. The vocal part of this class will go beyond a typical voice lesson; the focus will be on how the song is being presented. We also know that young students struggle to find good, appropriate monologues that they can use for school, local or college auditions. We will help in the selection of materials and coach actors on how to present their pieces. ATTEND THE FULL DAY [REGISTER ONLINE] |

At NSMT, we believe that a modern day actor should have a toolbox filled with true and steadfast techniques and methods used on the stage. Our conservatory style program concentrates on providing students the necessary tools to become a triple threat and well-rounded actor/actress. Students will hone their skills in acting, singing and dancing, while engaging with their peers, building on the areas critical to their development such as: critical thinking, collaboration, public speaking, time management and social development. We also believe that theatre should be accessible to any student who chooses to participate and encourage them to begin their artistic journey, regardless of their level of experience.
