THA 2500 Composer Project

(formerly THA 250)

The purpose of this course is to enable the actor to sustain and further develop the skills acquired in Vocal Performance and employ them in a rehearsal and public performance setting. The focus of the course will be on the application of breaking songs into beats, finding actions, creating a specific scene partner relationship, appropriate vocal technique, employing physicality, and text analysis/research to illuminate comprehension of a lyric and the overall journey of the song. Material from the canon of a successful musical theatre composer will be chosen and songs will be studied in classroom, rehearsed and performed.
