Hamilton
Block 1
Do not 'throw away your shot' to be in 'the room where it happened', because over the course of two blocks we will be studying the musical that changed modern musicals - Hamilton!
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.
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!
The guide age for the class is 8+, but we have students of all ages attending the class.
Please do bear in mind that Hamilton has adult themes, including adultery, adult relationships and violence - so please do explore these before deciding whether your class is right for your student.
