Songwriting for Musical Theatre Intensive

This class focuses on actors creating a personal songwriting practice. Through the lens of songwriting, we learn a healthy creative outlet and explore the art form from a different perspective. Learning to write, sing, and articulate your own thoughts and feelings can be crucial to find resilience in your life and art. Actors are always inhabiting other writers’ canvases. It is now their turn to write and inhabit their own.
