What happens in a Stage Door course?

Our Stage Door course is designed to give students an experience of performing musical theatre songs and scenes live on stage to a supportive audience as well as developing skills in singing, dancing and acting. We believe in working as an ensemble and we will focus our efforts in working in a full ensemble and smaller group scenes of 3-4 performers to allow everyone to experience the skills of performing alongside others, having their moment on stage but without the pressure of a cental lead role or stressful solo moment. Our focus on ensemble gives everyone a chance to be featured and challenged at their own unique level as our staff choose songs and scenes that are tailored to everyone’s individual performance journey.

Weekly lesson plans

Each week the teacher will design songs and scenes for students to work on that will eventually be placed in the final showcase. These are specifically chosen to bring new skills and techniques to the course to allow everyone to not only practice for the showcase but improve their skills along the way.

Week 1 will start with a full group song and dance number where students will learn ensemble choreography and harmonies. Then week by week, students will be placed into smaller groups to work on songs and scenes from a variety of exciting musical theatre shows giving everyone an exciting role to focus on in their showcase.

Please note from time to time we do encourage students to get together to have extra individual practices before the showcase.

End-of-semester Showcase

Students get to perform in a musical theatre showcase in our Blackbox theatre. With professional lighting and sound and directed by professionals, our showcases are a magical and intimate experience performing to a supportive audience of friends and family.

What happens in Semester 1 (Showcase Semester)?

Our Showcase semester is uniquely designed to develop our West End Stars Triple Threat skills, bringing together their Singing, Dancing and Acting skills alongside their stagecraft and stage discipline too. West End stars will work on several three week long projects focusing on different popular musicals. Breaking the semester into individual proejcts allows us to not only learn the skills but learn more about different shows in more detail. The curriculum is both challenging their skills and keeps them engaged and motivated in their learning.

Weekly lesson plans

Each three-week project throughout the semester will focus on one musical and then engage students will song, dance and scenes from this show learning about the show, its history and the charaters within the learning.

An example curriculum breakdown would be if we work on the musical Matilda:

Week 1 – Introduce the show, characters and plot. Learn the choreography & dance style for Revolting Children.

Week 2 – Revise choreography for Revolting children, work on singing skills for this song focusing on harmony and vocal style, look at characters in the scene leading up to the song

Week 3 – After learning the scene over the last week students will be put into groups of 3 to be directed in the scene leading up to the song. Students will then perform the scene and the song back to each other in class and asked to remember the performance for the end of semester showcase.

Usually in a semester we would focus on 4 shows and then have other additional one-off skills workshops to cover other specific performance or industry skills.

Goals for Showcase Semester

The goal for this semester is process driven but along the way students will prepare for a small end of semester presentation. It is important that the West End stars spend time to hone their skills rather than just always focusing on the show or end product so throughout the semester they will be encouraged to reflect on their own learning journey and progress.

The focus of the curriculum is to build each individual students performance skills through ensemble-based learning developing the skill of mastering your own performance alongside listening and working with your fellow actors on stage.

End-of-semester Class Presentation

At the end of the semester, our West End Stars will gather selected performance items from their three-week projects this semester to showcase to friends and family in our end of term showcase. This is billed as a presentation of work rather than a show and a chance for students to put their new skills to practice, reflect on the achievements they have made and for parents to see the progression of their skills.

This programme is aimed for adults who have a passion for Musical Theatre and want to experience drama school with a desire to improve their technique and skill. 

The programme puts adult students through a Drama School style programme through 12 intensive sessions. Students will attend skills classes in all three disciplines of Musical Theatre where they will advance their techniques and learn new skills. Each of the skills classes will all result in a final assessment to the faculty with students receiving an individual progress report on their growth throughout the course and suggestions for future development. 

Alongside the skills classes, students will also work on scene study as well as preparation for a mock audition, these classes will help students put into practice what they have learnt from their skills classes. Due to social distancing these will all be filmed for students which they can share, watch and enjoy after the programme completion. 

This is a programme like no other and never seen before in Singapore! To ensure that students are ready for the level of training and to guarantee a consistent quality for all, entry for this programme is by Audition only.

Students will get to be involved in not only the performance, but creation, direction and design of the final production, taking ownership and pride in creating a new theatrical work.
