Class
The Comedy Song -
“Be
funny!” – A two-word command that strikes terror in my auditioning
heart. How do we unlock what is particular, organic, to our own sense of
humor and wed it to comic material?
5/2/09
– Kathy Morath & Chris Stephens Master Class
Unlocking Musical Theatre Interpretive
Possibilities with Kathy Morath & Chris Stephens -
Please bring any song (pop, standard, or
contemporary) that you know but have studied very little or none at all.
The song does not have to be gender, age, or character appropriate as
long it speaks to you in a personal way: humorously or emotionally.
Also, bring 3 to 5 lines of text from a poem, novel, film,
commercial, OR write the lines yourself. Please do your best to have
these lines memorized and make sure to bring a typed copy with you. This
class will end with an exciting group performance!
5/16/09
& 6/6/09 – Kathy Morath & Chris Stephens Master Class
Don't
sweat it! Just know the notes and text for a 2 minute cut of a song of
your choice (pop, standard, country, showtune or rock). Get out those
cell phone timers, because your music MUST already be cut clearly to 2
minutes when you come to class.
The less show specific, the better
the song will work in the context of the class. (ex. Streets of Dublin,
The Wizard & I, and
Rose's Turn are probably NOT the best choices for our exercises)
6/9/09
& 6/16/09 – Judy Blazer & Chris Stephens Master Class
Two classes on Rehearsal
Strategies for Coordinating Vocal Technique with Acting Choices. Bring
any song you plan on using for auditions. Have two cuts: 2 minutes and
16 bar. Have a contrasting song as well (in case there is extra time).
