2-Day Intensive · Wednesday 30 September & Thursday 1 October, 9:00am–4:00pm both days
Our most-requested spring holiday program! Two full days building vocal, movement and stage skills around a mini medley of musical theatre numbers, culminating in a short shareable performance for parents at pick-up on day two.
Spend two exciting days immersed in musical theatre! Designed for tweens and teens who love performing, this intensive combines singing, acting and movement as students work together to rehearse and stage a mini medley of musical theatre numbers.
Across the two days, performers will develop their vocal confidence, characterisation, stage presence, movement, ensemble skills and performance technique through practical rehearsals, theatre games and performance challenges.
Students won't just learn songs — they'll explore how to tell a story through music, create memorable characters, connect with an audience and perform confidently as part of an ensemble.
