SKILLS BUILDER
Monday 18 February - London
Our most popular course embraces the three key disciplines of musical theatre - acting, singing and dance - and is perfect for anyone wishing to develop or consolidate their skills. Our expert team - Kate Golledge, Laura Bangay and Chris Cuming - will share their top tips for successful auditioning, help you to master the art of acting through song and - whatever your level of experience - get your feet tapping in a spectacular finale. The only preparation required is of a song from musical theatre.
Time: 10.30am - 5.00pm.
Course fee: £45
Venue: National Youth Music Theatre
Adrian House, 27 Vincent Square, London SW1P 2NN
NAIL THAT AUDITION!
Tuesday 19 February - London
Led by Richard Fitch, Tom Attwood, Laura Bangay and Chris Cuming, this practical workshop is designed for anyone seeking to improve audition technique, applying to drama schools or preparing for NYMT’s recalls. Please bring two contrasting songs (the team will choose one of these) and a short monologue. Pieces you are planning to use for forthcoming auditions or that you may have used in the past would be useful. If you're unsure, just bring some material you feel comfortable working on.
Time: 10.30am - 5.00pm.
Course fee: £45
Venue: National Youth Music Theatre
Adrian House, 27 Vincent Square, London SW1P 2NN
IN FINE VOICE
Wednesday 20 February - London

Stuart made his London theatre debut in the critically acclaimed Parade at the Donmar Warehouse and is particularly known for playing Riff Raff in three European tours of The Rocky Horror Show. Bring with you one or two songs that you are currently exploring so you can really enjoy finding a new perspective on the character, interpretation and performance.
