Music theatre, of course, requires music. What is composing? How do you do it? What do you need to take into account? How do you handle a song lyric? What form do you give to a song? All these aspects and much more are covered in the composition workshop for music theatre, which will be given by Hoevelakens Edwin Schimscheimer. Composing, arranging and performance/collaboration are themes that will be covered. Everyone aged 14 and over can participate and learn from Edwin
How do you write a story that captivates and sticks with the audience? What are the ingredients of a scenario for musical theatre and what role do songs play in it? How do you create flesh-and-blood characters and believable dialogues? All these aspects and more are covered in the storytelling & screenwriting workshop for music theatre.
