Hairspray the Musical - Part 1
This is part 1 of 2
I am so excited to be exploring the amazing 'Hairspray the Musical' with my performers this block. Maybe you've seen the film, or the live stage version, but this musical is so much fun, with lots of heart and plenty of soul.
If you don't happen to know the story of Hairspray, a central theme of the musical is racism and racial segregation in 1960's America, so this will be discussed (appropriately) as part of the classes.
Think of these classes like an online Theatre school class. We sing, we dance, we act. We play, we use our imagination, we're creative. We learn new skills in confidence, communication, reading, listening and learning.
In acting, we play games, we read scripts and we learn about basic drama devices like improvisation, mime and physical theatre in an age appropriate, fun and game based learning way.
In dance, we warm up, we stretch, we learn a basic piece of dance technique (such as a kick or a simple turn) and each week we build on learning a dance routine.
In singing, we warm up our voices, running through a series of warm up and technique activities, and each week we build on learning a song, through learning words, rhythm and melody.
The guide age for the class is 7+, but we have students of all ages attending the class.
As well as performance and practical activities, we'll also be looking at the backstage and behind the scenes elements of theatre - think costume, set design, make up and more!
