Creating a Compelling Live Performance:

Catalog description

The art of performing is the place where creativity, spontaneity, artistic vision and excellence are shared with the artists and the audience. The magic that takes place onstage is the result of artistic vision, collaboration with the production team, the musicians, the background singers, the dancers (in some cases) and the crew. In order to have a performance that moves the audience, there must be a follow- through of intention from inception to the very last note. A great performance requires a clear vision and song choices that allow for artistic expression and connection. Dedication to practice and preparation are essential to developing the ability to command the stage whole-heartedly with ease and confidence. The artist must be willing to make room for the performer within so that the audience is left inspired, and emotionally connected. This interchange between artist and audience must be part of the performance, whether it is an arena, a club or an intimate setting. This class is a workshop designed to put you, the artist, front and center in order to individually develop the particular skills that make for a great performance.
