So…what does this mean?
Blocking – This is when you find out when you should enter and exit. This is also the time when the director tells you where, when and how to move on-stage.
Vocals – This is when we work on any singing involved in the show.
Focus Skill – This is the time taken during rehearsal to teach a needed set of skills directly related to the success of the show.
CharacterBuilding - This is time taken during rehearsal to assist you in creating and executing the most effective character.
