Workshop Choices

Music & Drama: Musical Theatre

Students will be introduced to the elements of musical theatre in this performance-based workshop. Using an existing musical, students will explore script work, choreography, singing, improvisation and character development. The role of the actor and the audience will be presented, while participants gain a better appreciation of professional aspects of the art form.

Music & Drama: Creating Myths

Students will interpret the mood, feelings, colours and beats of musical pieces and stories, using their body and voice as the impetuous in creating a mythical performance piece. Individual and group work will be explored, as well as the use of props and set pieces.

Music & Visual Art: The Sounds We Found

During this workshop students will create their own instruments with found objects. Using the instruments, the class will write their own music and perform their compositions. Students will learn about sound production and how different types of instruments create sound.

Music & Visual Art: The Colour of Music

Students will discuss the relationship between colour in art and music. They will analyze and create artwork and then use the work to compose music that clearly demonstrates the colours portrayed in their creations. This workshop will conclude with a concert where students perform their original music.
