is a program like none other.
Participants in SEWPA for Adults will be able to satisfy their passion for the Fine Arts, performance, and the artistic community all at once. Enrollees will be instructed in voice, drama, and dance by local area professionals with a focus on good technique, creating solid building blocks of musicality, presentation, and movement. They also will have the opportunity to be involved in the production of each performance from staging and blocking to set design and costume construction, receiving skills that will enhance performances now and in the future.
In addition to feeding their passion for the Fine Arts and performance, participants will be able to inspire others.. Whether rehearsing or performing, people involved in SEWPA for adults will serve as mentors to the school and college age youth that are learning alongside them, demonstrating that involvement in the arts can and should be for life.
SEWPA for Adults offers a variety of rehearsal and performance opportunities:
Session I~For those participants limited on time or many commitments during the summer months, there is an intense four week rehearsal schedule starting May 23rd leading to a performance of two shortened operas June 24th and 25th, 2011
Session II~ If you enjoy large stage productions and a less intense rehearsal schedule, Session II is for you. This session will include our large stage chorus production and will also involve our Fine Arts Camp and Fine Arts Camp II participants. Rehearsals will begin June 27th with performances on July 28th through July 31st.
If you want to experience it all, just sign up for both session s and have a summer full of music and memories.
