THA 2500 Composer Project

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.
