Welcome to the future of musical theatre education: the Digital Musical Theatre Performance Lab at The NYPAA, a groundbreaking four-week intensive designed to merge the time-honored traditions of musical theatre with the demands of today’s digital performance landscape.
The Course:
In a world where the camera is as crucial as the stage, this course offers an intimate exploration into the fusion of musical theatre performance and pop vocal artistry for digital media. Over four or eight weeks, participants will delve into nine distinct styles of popular music found in musical theatre compositions, learning to captivate audiences from TikTok to Broadway, from Instagram reels to virtual auditions.
Program Structure
- Week 1: Dive into the Golden Era, The Jazz Age, and the Motown Era, embracing the roots of musical storytelling.
- Week 2: Explore the complexities of Sondheim, the vibes of ’70s Folk/Rock and Disco, and the bold sounds of the ’80s and Mega Musicals.
- Week 3: Immerse yourself in Contemporary Musical Theatre, Pop/Rock, Punk, R&B, and Rap, mastering modern musical expressions.
