In this workshop, participants will have an opportunity to perform a song, receive feedback, and workshop their performance with an experienced artist and vocal coach, focusing on engaging an audience, performing with authenticity, and connecting with lyric and story. Participants will gain insight and feedback around their own performance and skill sets, be guided in giving constructive and compassionate feedback to their peers, and learn about the performing arts industries. Ideal for young people aged 12-18; both experienced performers who are looking to hone their skill sets and interested in tertiary performance pathways, as well as young people interested in dipping their toe in the performing arts and learning more about singing for an audience are welcome and encouraged to participate.
