REP’s popular theater workshops are now online
MANy people have been using their newfound “extra” time at home to learn something new, whether it’s literature, a foreign language, or the art of baking. Now, Repertory PhilipJ pines gives young and old the chance to explore the world of theater from their home. REP’s workshop experiJ ence through intensive online classes runs from July 6 to 31.
For decades, REP has offered sumJ mer workshops to train the next genJ eration of theater talent. And in fact many of REP’s talented workshop students have entered professional theater through the workshops and they now proudly join the ranks of REP’s roster of professional actors.
The classes are taught by seasoned REP actors and veterans. Beyond teaching theater performance skills, the workshops have also helped stuJ dents gain real life skills that last a lifetime. The classes build confidence, enhance communication skills, imJ prove kinesthetic learning, sharpen memory skills, heighten creativity and aptitude, and develop an appreciation for discipline, focus and teamwork.
REP’s Workshops for the PerformJ ing Arts include Musical Theater classes that teach the basics of acting, singing and dancing — skills required for musical theater. Enrollees will be grouped by age: KidJ dies (ages 4- 8), Pre-Teens (ages 9-12), Teens (ages 13-16), and Adults (ages 17 and up). Also, for stuJ dents who wish to focus on honing a specialty, classes are being offered on Voice, as well as Dance and Movement, both with an emphasis on musical theater performance.
For the first time, REP is launchJ ing a class on costume design, which is open to creatives and enthusiasts aged 16 and above. Costume Design for Children’s Theater Musicals will be taught by US-based costume designer Raven Ong. Ong has been responsible for many of REP’s dazzling costumes. He has been nominated thrice for the prestigious Gawad Buhay for OutJ standing Costume Design.
