Musical

Course with Colin Sinclair

In this class, Colin Sinclair combines jazz dance techniques with a strong emphasis on showmanship and performance. He pays attention to the aesthetics of the figures to create more character-oriented movements. Musical and choreographic scenes here are short stories driven by the plot or characters, helping to develop the main narrative of the story, much like a scene in a film. The participants learn how to “act out” a choreography and portray a character. This style combines dance and acting, creating a safe space in which creativity can flourish. The use of theater props such as hats, canes, chairs, etc. is just as important as ensemble work.
