By providing unrivaled access to industry leading professionals and coaches, the intensive provides not only the ability for participants to catapult their skills to new levels, but also the ability to make connections with some of North America’s leading musical theatre professionals. Over the course of the 14-day intensive, participants will amplify their talent and passion with confidence and sophistication through an integrated program of master classes, private coaching, and professional development sessions.
The intensive focuses on increasing participants’ performative skills for communicating a story narrative through the three key components of musical theatre — song, text, and movement. Given the wide-ranging demands of contemporary musical theatre productions, the training addresses both the stage and vocal skills required for success in a variety of musical genres. By the culmination of the program, participants will have developed a solid and significant set of skills to accompany their dreams and passionate pursuit of standing out of the crowd on stage.
A rigorous schedule of daily classes within the professional theatre facilities of The Banff Centre will be taught by a faculty of New York City professionals, and an associate faculty of Canadian-based professionals, all of whom have extensive teaching and professional credits. The core of the intensive, classes will combine the voice, the actor, and the body for truthful and organic communication in musical theatre repertoire.
Core Training – Class topics will include:
The program also offers participants informal performance opportunities, which provide the opportunity to showcase skills learned over the course of the training intensive on stage.
To ensure maximum learning benefit for participants, this intensive is limited to 15 artists who will work with the professional faculty members.
If you are a pre-professional/young professional performer looking to advance your training and skills in musical theatre – this program is for you. As this intensive will build upon existing skills and knowledge, all participants must have fundamental musical theatre training and performance experience prior to applying for the program. Artists must have completed, at a minimum, their freshman or sophomore year of university or have equivalent professional training. Applicants must be 19 years old or older.

Exploring Shakespeare with Iam Coulter
Cost:$175
Dates and times:
Friday March 1, 7:00 pm – 10:00 pm
Saturday March 2, 11:00 am – 7:00 pm
Sunday March 3, 11:00 am – 4:00 pm
This workshop will guide participants through an exploration of the powerful language, unparalleled poetry and timeless, enduring humanity of the texts of William Shakespeare. Primary focus will be given to personal connection, actor/audience relationship, reinvigorating the imagination, and taking direction from Shakespeare himself through an examination of Folio text work and the art of rhetoric.
Participants will be invited to challenge themselves emotionally, intellectually, physically and artistically, in order to rise to the occasion of fully embodying a Shakespeare text.
Text work will focus on speeches selected by the participants themselves. Speeches do not need to be from a character that is the same gender. They should be written in verse, should be 15-25 lines long, and should speak to you personally for some reason – even if you aren’t quite sure what the reason is. Please select speeches by human characters – no fairies, witches or spirits, and have it memorized before the first day of the workshop.
To apply to the workshop please email a short statement about why you want to attend and what you hope to gain, along with your speech selection. It would be most beneficial to select a new speech that speaks to you today, rather than an old piece that has been heavily worked already.
Statement of interest should be emailed to Iam Coulter at iamcoulter1@gmail.com with the speech selection either attached or pasted into the body of the message.
