Voice & Movement
Know your voice — it's strong, it's sensitive, it's resilient, and it's you! Students will learn to strengthen and condition their voices, unlocking the true power and range of their instruments. Students will learn repeatable vocal warm-ups to help prepare for performances of all kinds, such as auditions and/or classroom presentations as well as day-to-day speaking skills.
Drama/Musical Theatre
Polestar members will learn the actors' process of creating three-dimensional characters and truthful actions for the stage. Classes utilize theater games, guided improvisation activities, and scene work to develop characterization and script analysis skills. Classes culminate in a sharing of scenes based on several songs from a variety of musicals.
Musical Theatre Dance
Musical Theatre Dance class will focus on learning various dance styles used in Broadway shows. Class includes a proper warm-up, stretches, isolations, across-the-floor progressions, and combinations. Emphasis will also be placed on learning performance skills such as connecting with the audience and telling a story through dance and facial expressions.
Musicians
Student musicians participate in creating the live soundtrack for the weekly workshop. They rehearse with the band, offering ideas for sound for various scenes, as well as taking responsibility to play a part on an instrument for the workshop performance.
