Description
Where Art Meets Heart (WAMH) is a program that focuses on educating the youth about the performing arts, including acting, singing, and dancing as well as applicable life skills such as conflict resolution, working as team, and discipline. The program also aims to build self confidence and allow for self expression and exploration.
A typical day at WAMH includes vocal instruction, history of performing arts, theater exercises i.e. improvisational scenarios, and musical theater themed choreography. Our program focuses heavily on musical theater. The group exercises incorporated throughout the program helps students learn to work together in order to accomplish set goals.
Another facet of our program includes set building and costume creating/designing. Students are able to learn how to create and build sets as well as design and create their own costumes. Students creativity is put to task with guidance and instruction.
