By the end of the workshop, students will have had opportunities to work with our guest professionals on the 4 categories or an audition:
ACTING: How do I perform this monologue to its fullest potential? How do I not get choked up on nerves with the text of the piece? How do I show the director that I can take changes and be comfortable? All of this and more is included in in this intensive part of the day. We ask students to please come prepared with 2 monologues each (one comedic and one dramatic).
DANCE/MOVEMENT: How do I tackle a dance/movement call when I don’t have dance training or experience? How do I show a production team that I am conformable in my body? This portion of the day will include students of all movement backgrounds and body types for a session in getting comfortable in your own skin! We ask students to please arrive to the workshop in comfortable clothing to move in.
SINGING: How do I choose the best audition cut for my voice? Do my song choices match the show I am auditioning for? By singing audition cuts for our guest artist in this section of the day, students will get direct one-on-one feedback as to how they can improve their audition cut to make it as strong as possible! (A Pianist will be provided). Students should come prepared with a book of sheet music audition cuts. 4 choices minimum (one up-tempo, one ballad, one classic and one contemporary.
BRANDING: How do I know what to wear to an audition? What should I wear in my headshot? How should I properly organize my sheet music in my binder for an audition pianist? How should I properly format my resume? All of these questions and more will be answered in our branding section of the workshop. Students will get one on one experience with Branding experts in making sure you look perfect for walking into the audition and nailing it!

Cosponsors: Jazz at Lincoln Center, Town of New Castle and Friends of the Chappaqua Library
Relax and enjoy an evening of cheese, wine and jazz in the elegant surroundings of the Chappaqua Performing Arts Center.
The worlds of gospel music and jazz have always shared a close bond. In Wynton Marsalis’ Abyssinian Mass, these two worlds come together as the Lincoln Center Orchestra—with a full gospel choir–performs one of the most joyful, ecstatic, and life-affirming pieces of music ever written.
Drawing from the full well of both styles’ traditions, Marsalis brings his own take on the Mass
format, infusing it with swinging energy, Blues expression, and rich melodic contours. Classic
aspects of the Mass, from the Doxology to the Gloria Patri, are all present and will provide
those familiar with the format with an exciting roadmap. The evening also featured a sermon
prepared and delivered by Reverend Calvin Butts of the Abyssinian Baptist Church in Harlem,
where the piece was first premiered.
