The Performance Workshop Summer 2008

 

ABOUT THE PERFORMING ARTS ACADEMY

The Performing Arts Academy is a program of the Ocean County Vocational Technical School District. This full-time Academy is a comprehensive high school geared toward students who wish to excel in the Performing Arts.

The program offers intensive study in theater, dance and voice for the young artist-in-training. Courses include concentration in technical theater, acting techniques, directing, ballet, modern and jazz techniques, choreography, music theory, vocal health, song preparation, and arts history for each discipline. Performing Arts Academy students are academically challenged with 160 credits required for a high school diploma.

Our students are encouraged to continue their education in the arts after graduation, but will also be given the tools and resources to audition for professional companies. Students interested in a competitive and challenging environment must complete the necessary application process, which includes an entrance audition.

“The Summer Experience”

This two-week workshop provides an opportunity for aspiring young artists to strengthen their area of specialty - dance, voice, or acting.
Each day begins with an intense session in the major area of study. A half hour lunch break is followed by two, 45 minute workshops in the other two specialties. Through exposure to these three performing arts disciplines, the student has the opportunity to improve as a well-rounded young performer. Our students will develop an appreciation for each art form. The last day of the workshop is a day of performance. Parents and friends are welcome!

During the workshops, students receive instruction from master teachers in:

Acting: The theatre arts program is comprised of both acting technique and monologue/scene study. Actors are required to bring a memorized monologue from a published play for the first day of the workshop.

Voice: Voice instructors will coach students individually on solo repertoire as well as in an ensemble setting. This process will build healthy vocal technique and appropriate characterization.

Dance: The dance summer program is geared to enhance the technical training of a skilled dancer in Ballet, Modern, and Jazz technique while gaining an understanding of dance theory and history. A minimum of 6 years of continuous dance training is required for grades 6-8 and a minimum of 8 years for grades 9-12.

Who should apply?
Students who are presently enrolled in fifth through eleventh grades who have a serious interest in the performing arts in either acting, voice, or dance. This competitive program is limited to 15 students per discipline in each level.
