***THIS IS A LIVE EVENT IN NEW YORK CITY***JOIN US FOR OUR SPECIALLY CURATED FIVE DAY SUMMER PROGRAM THAT CENTERS AROUND YOU!
At BKA, we love to create student centered events. For summer 2022, we are thrilled to be able to develop a five day intensive based around various musicals that best feature our participants. Each participant will be cast in a role from one of the musicals listed below, which will include a cut of a song and scene from the show. This project will culminate in a final performance in a “Musical Revue” format at a performance venue in New York City!
This is an excellent opportunity to work on studying and developing a character with a top New York based creative team as well as meeting and working with industry professionals (talent agents and casting directors) in unforgettable workshops.
MUSICALS BEING CONSIDERED INCLUDE: BEETLEJUICE, MEAN GIRLS, SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE, BONNIE AND CLYDE, TUCK EVERLASTING, DEAR EVAN HANSEN, SWEENEY TODD, THE MUSIC MAN, WAITRESS, SIX, COMPANY, THE PROM.
Objectives: to learn specific techniques of singing, dancing and acting through character driven song and scene work. To give each artist the unique opportunity to perform a portion of a role in a New York City venue
Available for students ages 8-18. Students will be broken down into smaller groups based on the shows chosen and at certain times, by ages.
