About this Event
Newport Theater Camp launches our Winter Act Development courses aimed at solo performers. Students looking to conceptualize, create, and construct new acts in the burlesque and cabaret arena will learn the mechanics of Concept, Costume, Music, and Movement. This class runs 2 hours per week and will cover theory as well as hands-on practical skills. Enrollment is limited to only FIVE registrants to maximize each student’s time and attention. There are two concurrent classes spanning a total of 10 weeks (8 weeks in classroom time plus 2 weeks of at-home development time). The course culminates in a live showcase featuring each student's newly created solo. This class is appropriate for anyone looking to build a new solo work regardless of experience level.
