Advanced Performance Techniques

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

Course Objective: The intention of this course is to provide you with a context within which to build upon the foundations of the techniques of musical theatre performance and how to navigate character from book scenes into songs. Course Content and Structure: You will work on analysis and performance of multiple songs and scenes from musicals, focused on book scenes, duets, and group numbers. These songs/scenes are assigned by era sequentially so that we may simultaneously introduce the context of this material within the genre-at-large. You will also apply your growing knowledge of technique and context to intelligently observe and comment on the work of your peers within a structured setting.
