Performing Arts
This year I have decided to drop a few extra curricular activities so I could really start to focus on the performing arts. For example, here is a look at my weekly schedule
Sunday: Musical theater dance and song 1-5
Monday: Rehearse and memorize line at home all afternoon
Tuesday: Musical Theater blocking/ lines/ song (4:30 on occasion) 5:45-9
Wednesday: Dance 3-4
Thursday: Musical Theater blocking/ lines/ song 5:45-9
Friday: Private vocal jazz and classical lessons 5:30-6
Saturday: Go over all things learned from the prior week and work on memorizing
For the first semester, the school musical is Zombie Prom and I am starring in it as the main character Jonny. It is a story about two teenagers in the 50s who fall in love, but with an unexpected twist that Jonny is a zombie. I am very excited to perform with such an amazing cast, and I am already having a fantastic time even though it is a lot of work and we have a long way to go.
Also this year, I am taking a master vocal class once a week after school from January to the end of February. This class helps me work on audition pieces for musicals, and teaches me about the American Song book.
