STARS Performance Program Workshops
Someone once said that success is 10% inspiration, and 90% perspiration. In these high-engagement, hands-on workshops, your students will gain invaluable insights, tips and advice from industry insiders.

• Sound Design: Music and the Art of Foley

  Band, choir, or orchestra students will sync music, choral arrangements, Foley, and digital sound effects to real movie scenes.  Robert W. Smith, a consummate music educator and one of  today’s most popular and respected music composers, designed this workshop to reinforce National Core Arts Standards.

• Dance is UNIVERSAL!

  In this workshop, students will get tips for writing a winning resume and having a successful audition, then work on original  choreography preformed in our parks, taught by one of our very own highly trained professional choreographers and performers.
