Interactive Broadway Workshops

Camp Broadway is an industry leader in providing authentic Broadway experiences to theatre enthusiasts of all ages! Based in NYC, the heart of the theatre world, we have access to those elite actors who currently perform on Broadway. These accomplished performers are our workshop instructors.

Through our highly customized Interactive Broadway Workshop series, participants will spend time with a Broadway professional, learning from them what they do best. These theatre professionals provide special training using authentic Broadway material. Oftentimes our teachers come from the show that you are seeing, which makes theatre-going all the more magical.

5,6,7,8...A Dance Experience Not a dancer? Don't fret. Our dance workshops are shaped to the interests and level of each group. All dance workshops begin with a short physical warm-up. The participants are introduced to several practical dance techniques. The workshop then culminates in the learning and rehearsal of choreography from a Broadway production number. 5,6,7,8…The Dance Experience workshop leaves each participant with a great sense of accomplishment and an inside view to the exciting world of Broadway. Examples of recent workshops include: "The Mega Mix" from Billy Elliot; "Step in time" from Mary Poppins; "One Fine Day" from Wicked; and "Welcome to Dulac" from Shrek. For this workshop, please close-toed shoes for safety reasons.

The Broadway Style: a vocal workshop This interactive workshop pairs a Broadway performer with a professional accompanist and, together, they teach the group the mechanics and interpretation of a song. Groups can select a song from any published Broadway show. The Broadway Style will enhance participants' vocal and performance skills while building a sense of ensemble. This workshop requires an extra fee of $100 for the accompanist. Examples of recent workshops include vocal selections from: The Phantom of the Opera, Mary Poppins, Wicked, and Hairspray.

An Actor's Toolbox Ever wonder how professional actors approach a play? Our Broadway artists reveal the secrets! This acting workshop introduces people to tools used by working Broadway actors. The toolbox includes interactive theatre exercises that prepare the participants to perform actual scenes. Participants will rehearse their scenes in small groups, using dialogue from actual Broadway scripts, and then they will perform their scenes for the larger group, and receive individual coaching from the instructor. An Actor's Toolbox workshop is not only perfect for performing arts groups and drama clubs but is also suitable for any groups interested in an authentic theatre experience. Recent workshops include scenes from: Billy Elliot, Shrek, Phantom of the Opera, Gypsy, Guys and Dolls and more.

Improvisation: Creative Interactivity When we watch Whose Line Is It Anyway? on television, we are watching improvisation at its finest. In this interactive workshop our professionals teach sketch comedy and theater games as an integral part of improvisation. Students can expect to create characters based on any given circumstances and interact in suggested environments, as well as the use of props in various, unconventional ways. The Improvisation workshop will challenge each student to tap into their instincts and to contribute to an extremely stimulating creative environment.

Q & A: An Hour with an Artist This in-depth question and answer session gives participants the exclusive opportunity to talk one-on-one with a working entertainment professional. Individuals will hear what it takes to make it in the world of show business. Artists will intimately talk of their own personal success stories by taking the group through the highs and lows of their particular career. From agents to auditions, from landing the part to opening night, this extremely interactive environment will allow the participants the chance to find out everything they have always wanted to know about what life is like living as an artist.

Write To Broadway – A Playwriting Workshop Every Broadway play begins as an idea that grows on the printed page into a dramatic story which culminates on the stage. In this dynamic 90-minute playwriting workshop, students will generate ideas for plays under the guidance of an accomplished instructor who has worked with numerous Broadway performers and is a New York State Certified English and Theatre Arts educator. This workshop meets National Standards in English Language Arts and Performing Arts. Through lively guided discussions and innovative exercises, students will work collaboratively to create scenarios, develop characters and write dialogue. This interactive workshop includes rehearsal and performance of the scenes, with instructor feedback. "I just wanted to say how pleased I was with the playwriting workshop....The students were enthused and loved the planned activities. Out of all the guests we have had in the English department this year, this was definitely one of the most worthwhile....Many thanks" - Dave Bucco, Pascack Hills High School
