Musical Theatre Workshop explores the role of the actor/dancer/singer in musical theatre and what it means to be part of a musical theatre production. Students will develop movement skills for acting and for musical theatre, and examine the functions of characterization, music, lyrics, movement, choreography, dialogue, and theatrical design, and how they are integrated into one dramatic effort. Students will learn a dance combination, and subsequently apply movement skills to fully analyzed, memorized scenes from musicals. Rehearsals may be held during scheduled class hours and scheduled rehearsal sessions outside of class time may also be required. Required for Musical Theatre minors.
