Kyla Sauber { music / voice }

17 years old Wissahickon High School Blue Bell, Pennsylvania

“You’re treated like an adult, not like a little kid. You’re in an environment where no one is afraid to do things, everything is out there and nothing is being held in.”

“ It’s been really eye opening how the program really prepares us to go into the real world.

Seeing how successful the instructors are – and a lot of them started here – reassures us that we can also be successful and do what we love.” .20

Music

The Goods Each summer, UArts hosts serious musicians and vocalists in our intensive Music program, which is designed to offer you an opportunity to perform with your peers in a professional University environment. The program focuses on Jazz, with an overview of other styles and genres of music. For the twoweek intensive program you should be proficient in your instrument. You will have a unique opportunity to study with many of the University’s outstanding core faculty. Participation in the summer Music program is designed to improve your knowledge of technique, musical styles, improvisation, theory, ear training, reading and performance in a variety of contemporary music ensemble settings.

The program is open to all young musicians, regardless of style. Students are accepted into the program in one of the following performance areas: bass (upright or electric), drum set, guitar, vibes, Latin and Brazilian hand drum, piano, saxophone, trombone, trumpet and voice. While we recognize you may play more than one instrument, we require that you choose one instrument to play and study while enrolled in the program.

All students in the Music program will participate in: • Private Lessons • Jazz Improvisation • Master Class • Small Group Lessons • Large Ensembles • Workshops Additional Curricular Activities: • Guest Lectures • Instructor Performances + Exhibitions • Jam Sessions • Small Ensemble Performances • Field Trips • Final Concert Performance

Audition + Program Placement After a brief orientation on the first day of classes, you will have an audition by the Music faculty for assessment purposes.

That audition will determine your placement in small ensembles, big bands and large ensembles/big bands. Schedules and music will be provided upon placement in your various ensembles.

On the final day of the program, you perform for family and friends in the new Caplan Recital Hall.

The Show Student Jam Sessions + Small Group Performances You will have the opportunity to play in informal jam sessions with instructors and UArts undergraduate students for an audience compromised of Pre-College Summer Institute students on campus.

Additionally, you will have the chance to play in the School of Music’s new Caplan Performance Hall. Friends and family are welcome to attend all performances.

Notification of performances will be sent to parents at the start of the program.

“I wanted the real experience. I didn’t want to be babied.

I wanted to feel what it’s like to be the 20th best guitarist in a class of 20 students.”

18 years old Nueva Esperanza Charter School Philadelphia, PA

All students meet with a special guest artist, including a performance and lecture by the guest.

You will also have the opportunity to perform for the artist and be critiqued by him.

Private Lessons You will receive one-on-one sessions with University faculty. Teachers work with you on style, technique, improvisation, reading and your own areas of interest.

Improvisation Class Small classes specific to drummers, vocalists and other instruments where each class will work on jazz vocabulary, rhythm and ear training, as well as some elements of jazz theory. This class is designed to aid you in an overall understanding of jazz performance.

Small Ensembles These ensembles of various musical styles will be comprised of approximately four to six students.

With the help of an experienced coach, you will work on interpreting and harmonizing melodies, improvising and group interplay. This will culminate in a performance at the end of the first week. Then, each ensemble will receive a new coach for the second week and perform again.

Following a curriculum similar to a college music major, you will take weekend outings to area attractions, including galleries, theaters, historical sites and local music venues and have the option to live in residence halls on campus.

Large Ensembles All students will also have some form of a large ensemble, which may include big band, advanced small group, jazz singers, a Latin percussion ensemble, or a guitar ensemble. All of these groups will perform in a final concert on the last day of the program.

Departmental Workshops Much like a group lesson, departmental workshops are instrumental/vocalspecific meetings with a working professional. You will be broken into groups by instrument to discuss topics from the heritage of the instrument to ensemble playing and career development.

Be sure to apply early. Enrollment is limited

Our working professionals can show you how to step onto a larger stage. Be pleasantly surprised to discover how much your talent has left to grow.

FOUR WEEKS |

JULY 8 - AUGUST 4 | 3 COLLEGE CREDITS | RESIDENTIAL ONLY

Richard Mitchell { musical theater }

17 years old West Chester Performing Arts Tobyhanna, Pennsylvania

“Coming to this program showed me what level was ‘good’ and what level was ‘great.’ Seeing some of the other performers here motivates me to be better.”

“ The only reason I’ve tried out for performing arts school and musicals in New York was because of this program. I can’t even think what it would be like not to have done this because it’s already a part of me.” .26

Theater

The Goods The Acting + Musical Theater programs are designed for the serious student performer and give you a preview of the professional training program at the University of the Arts. We focus on developing your craft as you acquire fundamental performance skills. The program is challenging and rigorous, so you should have some previous theatrical training before participating in the program.

Acting + Musical Theater Shared Core Students in the four-week residential program will participate in collegelevel courses designed for students who want to strive for personal growth and transform from a high school actor into a mature performer. The program will culminate in a final performance in one of the University’s state-of-the-art theaters.

and expressive behavior to your work in the moment. This, allied with the specificity of strong choices of objectives and actions, will bring vivid theatricality to your performance.

Voice + Speech This beginning Voice + Speech workshop introduces you to voice work in order to better understand the mechanics of good speech through articulation and tensionreleasing exercises.

Movement The goal of this class is to develop precision of movement through awareness of action and character.

You will learn how to use the given circumstances of a script combined with the study of human behavior to create a strong physical character.

Whether you choose to focus in Acting or Musical Theater, a core foundation of skills is integral for a performer.

Students in both the Acting program and the Musical Theater program will participate in a core curriculum.

Core Curriculum Includes: • Acting Studio • Voice + Speech • Movement Additional Curricular Activities: • Guest Lectures • College Admissions Lecture • Fields Trips • Final Performance

Acting Studio The Acting Studio will give you an introduction to both Meisner and Stanislavski’s techniques that cultivate the actor’s ability to “live truthfully under imaginary circumstances.”

Through these techniques, you develop a sense of reality as you learn to listen and respond in a truthful and spontaneous manner. You’ll learn to bring truthful

On the final Saturday of the program, parents and friends are invited to our University theaters and galleries to celebrate your talents and achievements.

The Show

The final performances are a major part of the Pre-College experience and give you real-life experience performing in front of an audience. You will participate in a rehearsal the Friday before the final performance that students in other programs will be invited to watch. In addition, you will be able to attend a soft opening of the final exhibit to view student performances and work from other programs.

.27

Acting In addition to a core foundation in Acting Studio, Voice + Speech and Movement, students who study Acting in the Pre-College Summer Institute will participate in the following courses:

Stage Combat

Julianna Bautista { acting }

“If you’re scared of pursuing acting or want to pursue it but need a little push, this is the program. I looked at other programs in New York, but it felt right being here.”

16 years old High School for the Creative and Performing Arts Philadelphia, PA

The Stage Combat component of the program is about the technique used to create the illusion of violence on stage. If you let your emotions carry you away, someone could get hurt. A good actor combatant must do two things at once: you must create a character that appears to be trying to injure another character, and at the same time do everything possible to ensure the safety of your partner. This paradox is a challenge and mastering it makes any student a better actor. All safety precautions are taken in this class.

Master Series Every Friday you spend the day working with a Master Teacher in a variety of disciplines. This gives you exposure to different aspects of the working process and also gives you practical skills such as advanced audition techniques. Past Master Classes have included LeCoq Physical Theatre Technique, Improvisation, Mask, Commedia Dell’Arte, Acting Shakespeare and Audition Techniques.

Rehearsal + Performance Apply the techniques learned in Acting Studio, Stage Combat, Movement and Voice + Speech to create a public performance of scenes and monologues in one of the University’s professional theaters. The final Acting performance is themed each year in a genre such as Shakespeare. This performance takes place on the final Saturday of the program.

Meet faculty and students from across the country who share similar interests and a passion for theater.

Theater

Musical Theater In addition to a core foundation in Acting Studio, Voice + Speech and Movement, students who study Musical Theater in the Pre-College Summer Institute will participate in the following courses:

Singing This component concentrates on fundamental elements of healthy vocal production: breathing, support, placement, phonation and resonance.

You will study songs from the vast catalog of musical theater repertoire and prepare one song for a videotaped “mock audition.”

Dance This component concentrates the fundamental concepts of ballet and jazz dance, two styles at the foundation of musical theater dance training.

You will study these forms and their application to musical theater repertoire. The dance classes are structured to accommodate students with different levels of experience.

Improv Musical Theater Inspired by the work of The Second City comedy troupe, this class focuses on your creativity, spontaneity and ability to collaborate on short improvised musicals, utilizing a variety of musical styles performed with live piano.

Playlist This is a component of the program that concentrates on dramatic interpretation of various styles of song through a thematically linked “playlist” of songs from various genres of popular music. Working in groups, you will arrange a new creative version of a popular song, incorporating movement and dance into the new piece.

Master Series Participate in select master classes, covering topics such as audition preparation, the business of the theater, commedia dell’arte, dance and theater history. This course is comprised of lectures/demonstrations given by performers and directors working in the professional community.
