Creating Cabaret Theater: Storytelling Through Song

This performance workshop explores how to approach a song, deeply explore its meaning, and draw from personal experience to create a final product that communicates a story. Each student works on solo pieces in a supportive setting to further vocal, acting, and performance skills and keeps a journal of their learning process to be shared at the end of the semester. The individual pieces may incorporate scene partners and dialogue, and the class works together to develop these solo scenes into a final production to be performed at the end of the term.
