“Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice!” Summon the ghost-with-the-most in this fast-paced classroom experience designed to create “triple threats”--performers who are confident actors, singers, and dancers. Using the Broadway hit Beetlejuice as a springboard, students work with teaching artists to explore the style and technique specific to this musical through the staging of two to three numbers from the show. Focusing on the plot structure and character motivations allows students to bring a complete character to the stage. Lessons in vocal technique and dance vocabulary give students a diverse toolbox from which to draw as they create higher level performances. The musical selections they focus on during the semester are shared with family and friends on the final day of class. Classroom sharings are a chance to showcase the foundational skills that students work to refine during their 14 week semester. Sharings provide an insightful and detailed look at the process of exploring and polishing performance techniques, and are a truly wonderful opportunity to catch a glimpse of the classroom experience at IStage.
