Repertoire Selection

Thursday 30th November 2023, 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM (London Time)

Accurate selection of vocal repertoire for singers is an essential skill for teachers of all genres.

The most skilled voice technician runs the risk of undoing all technical development in a student by assigning pieces and suggesting stage roles which are inappropriate for a given singer's capabilities and development.

This course will provide attendees with a systematic process for examining the challenges of vocal repertoire of multiple genres and how to best match pieces to a singer.

Acting Emotion: Perspectives from the Masters

Louisa Morgan

Stanislavski said, “our artistic emotions are, at first, as shy as wild animals and they hide in the depths of our souls.” Michael Chekhov said, our bodies should be like a “sensitive membrane, a kind of receiver and conveyor of the subtlest images, feelings, emotions and will impulses.” And Meisner said we should be “living truthfully under imaginary circumstances.” Join Louisa Morgan in this 2-part course as she explores a range of well-known acting practitioners to investigate what they believed (or believe) about emotion and how they approached it in their work. She'll compare their work to see where they align and where they diverge.
