The first workshop, for students age nine and older, runs March 14-18, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., in musical theatre and performance.
Students will learn from Dodd, Joelle Rabu, Nico Rhodes and Alexandria Maillot about solo and chorus singing, breathing techniques for maximum power and efficiency, and delivery and character development. The course leads up to a performance with musicians, sound system and lights.
Cost is $250, which includes music, lyric sheets, rehearsal CDs and snacks.
The second workshop, March 21-25, 2-6 p.m., is a singer-songwriter workshop aimed at students age 12 and older.
