BAK Theatre Audition WorkshopTuition - $130 - 11am - 2pm
Teacher: Beverly Blanchette
Space is Limited Sign Up Early
Join us for an Audition Workshop with Beverly Blanchette, retired Dean of Theatre for Dreyfoos School of the Arts, for students planning to audition for Dreyfoos School of the Arts or any performing arts program. The workshop intensive will act as a "mock audition" for the students.
The Bak workshop will include practice in cold reads, scenes, songs, improvisation, & re-directs. The sudents do not need to prepare anything in advance. Everything will be provided there.
The body should be completely covered to allow for freedom of movement. No shorts or skirts.
Each student will be assessed on his/her potential as a theatre student. We apply the audition criteria to the whole child rather than to simply past training/experience or presentational skills. The student's goal is to listen, follow directions, and freely express his/her creativity as a theatre student.
Students will be evaluated on the criteria as listed below:
1. Voice and Movement (Acting Exercise and Cold Reading or Song)-Demonstrates an ability to express a character vocally and physically in a way that matches what the actor can learn from the script or songs
1. Ensemble-Demonstrates teamwork through an ability and willingness to collaborate, listen, and react to create a believable scene together.
2. Responsiveness to Coaching-Demonstrates an ability to take direction and use it to change, correct, or enhance the creation of a believable character/scene onstage. Creativity/Theatrical Awareness-Demonstrates an ability to have ideas, explore possibilities, make discoveries, and make effective choices to create character, place, and situation.
Parents/guardians may join the class during the last 15 minutes for demonstrations and questions.
