Except as noted, all workshops are sponsored by Arizona Opera and are
free of charge to incumbent choristers.
"Era Blitz" Stage Presence Workshop
JoAnn Yeoman, Professor of Music Theater at ASU will conduct this workshop
on January 10th in Phoenix and 11th in Tucson. She describes this workshop
as "developing characters of different periods using dance."
Audition Stage Presence Workshop
The workshop will focus on the physical appearance and stage presence during
the audition. JoAnn Yeoman briefly covered some of this during the summer
workshop. She has an abundance of material on this subject.
This workshop will be sponsored by AGMA-AZ and Ms.
Yeoman, with choristers paying a fee to enroll.
Hands-On Makeup Workshop
This is a follow-up to the basic makeup and wig workshop held last season,
with Sarah Fried again as the instructor. Choristers will apply the makeup
during the workshop using several different makeup scenarios.
The workshop is scheduled for:
- Tucson: January 19, 7:00-10:00 PM at TCC Music Hall
- Phoenix: January 28, 7:00-10:00 PM at Phoenix Symphony Hall
Master Class
A principal appearing in an AZ Opera production will conduct a Master Class
for choristers, in cooperation with the Arizona Opera Guild. Tom Wright and
Joel Revzen plan to offer the class in the Spring, 2004 timeframe.
Opera Scenes Workshop
The summer opera scenes workshop will again be held at Paradise Valley
Community College (PVCC) in Phoenix, and for the first time at Pima Community
College (PCC) in Tucson. AGMA-AZ will work with PVCC and PCC faculty and staff
to develop the workshop programs, and announce enrollment dates. Singers will
be required to enroll in a 2-credit, eight week music performance course.
As last year, Arizona Opera will offer props and costume pieces for use in
the end-of-workshop recitals.
(We need a Tucson volunteer to start the process with Pima Community
College.)
