Harker is excited to announce a brand new summer program at our new performing arts center beginning summer of 2018. This program will be open to all Bay Area students.
|
|
This initial offering from the Conservatory will focus on theater technique development and performance. Summer @ The Conservatory will bring together the very best Bay Area educators to help students develop skills through a variety of acting classes, workshops, master classes and performances. Read on about the two programs currently in the planning stages and give us your feedback by completing the short survey linked at the bottom.
|
This course will be for incoming grade 5-9 students who have a love for theater. The focus will be on morning technique classes with a variety of required and elective courses, and afternoon rehearsals for a performance in the brand new Harker Performing Arts Center. Students will be grouped by experience level for their mandatory acting classes to ensure appropriately challenging material for all levels.
In addition, a Leadership in Training program is being developed for high school students wishing to intern, stage-manage or assistant direct.
|
By audition only, this intensive is designed for rising 10th-12th graders passionate about expanding their knowledge of theater in both the classroom and through a live one-act performance at the end of the program in our state-of-the art theater. Students will have morning classes in advanced acting techniques led by industry professionals both from the Bay Area as well as workshops led by television and/or movie actors and directors. This course is meant to further the education gained in The Conservatory Presents and students will be required to have attended this course – or a similar one in the area – prior to auditioning for Conservatory Intensive.
|
This weeklong “boot camp” is for rising seniors who plan to attend live auditions for conservatories or college programs, or who want to create a college arts supplement in theater or musical theater. Each day will be spent analyzing audition and supplement material, in one-on-one, group and master classes, culminating in a live mock audition day with industry professionals. All students will leave with a recorded final product appropriate for college application arts supplements and first-round video submissions for college/conservatory auditions.
As we develop this exciting new summer program, we are interested in feedback. Please help us develop a program that is just right for you and your children by filling out this short survey. Also feel free to share this flier with friends; it contains the info in this email. We appreciate your participation!
Sincerely,
Laura Lang-Ree
Director, K-12 Performing Arts
