Triple Threat Training: Ordway’s Professional Musical
Theater Intensive had a successful first year! We had a fantastic week (July 23
– 27) with participants who were passionate and eager to learn and spectacular
instructors, who worked with the participants on how to
hone their vocal, stage and dance techniques as well as build their skill set
for auditioning, increase their knowledge of musical theater history, and
practice character development through the use of dramaturgy.
The participants had morning sessions that consisted of a rotation
through courses on voice, dance, drama, and theater history/dramaturgy. During
the afternoon sessions, participants worked with a professional director and
choreographer on scenes and selections from Ordway’s upcoming theater season to
prepare for the Student Showcase performance on Friday.
The Student Showcase provided a great example for friends and
family who attended on what the participants learned and worked on throughout
the week. The Showcase consisted of scenes from Anything Goes, Chicago,
and Elf the Musical. The participants performed on the Ordway's McKnight Theatre stage everything from tap dance to Fosse to musical comedy acting. Thanks
again to everyone who participated in the program this year! We had a blast
working with all of you!
