SUMMER PROGRAMS FOR
STUDENTS GRADES 2-12
City Springs Theatre’s summer performance programs are designed to give students the opportunity to work with professional directors, music directors and choreographers, and create an exciting performing arts experience culminating in live performances on a stage!
This summer, high school students have FOUR choices of programs! Performers can choose between our intermediate level or advanced level MUSICAL THEATRE DANCE INTENSIVES - or they can choose between performing in a full-scale production of FAME THE MUSICAL, or working on the technical side of both of our summer productions of FAME THE MUSICAL and FAME JR.
This summer, middle school students have three great options! Performers can appear in a production of FAME JR. They can also participate in an intermediate MUSICAL THEATRE DANCE INTENSIVE. That, plus we're offering middle school students a 4-day NEXTGEN BROADWAY camp!
NextGen Broadway is a 4-day musical theatre camp for the next generation of artists and audiences, providing young performers the opportunity to work on all three essential disciplines that make up musical theatre: singing, dancing, and acting! No experience needed!
I am so excited to bring back a revamped and improved version of my signature Foundations: Voice and Body class.
Whether you are looking to refine your voice skills to support your acting work, or build greater awareness of how your movement tells the story, or looking to overcome performance nerves, this 10-week online course is for the whole performer looking to understand how to allow their full selves to become present in their work.
This course incorporates Fitzmaurice Voicework®, Knight-Thompson Speechwork, Laban, Noguchi Taiso, Organic Intelligence, and other methodologies to support the work of each participant and complement their existing strengths.
Fitzmaurice Voicework® centers on four primary areas:
1. Destructuring through specific exercises designed to release the body from tension and to find a breath that is spontaneous and free, allowing emotions to be voiced with ease.
2. Restructuring the breath so that the voice is supported and the performance is authentic, repeatable, and sustainable.
3. Presence to develop a fluid internal and external awareness while channeling and responding to what is present in the moment.
4. Play to engage fully with a spirit of curiosity and openness to what presents itself and what impulses arise.
When: Wednesday, April (7:00 - 9:45 pm, eastern time)
Where: Zoom
Cost: In consideration of COVID and its impact on the community, this course is $230, $210 if you register before March 20.
Payment plans are available. E-mail contact@vibrancecentre.com for details.

The history will be analyzed and illustrated by the operatic selections from the works which most accurately contribute to the telling of these stories.
