What to Expect:

Martin Harold, SVP for Enrollment, will share about JPCatholic’s creative arts programs and generous scholarships for local students (including our Zero Tuition Scholarship program).

This tour will include a preview of the new Performing Arts Center, set to open in June.

Prof. Katelyn Slater, Chair of Performing Arts, will lead students in a conservatory-level workshop to help you grow as an actor and receive an introduction to JPCatholic’s approach to acting education. The material will include an overview of Stanislavski and Meisner, some repetition exercises, and even the opportunity to present a monologue if desired. Prof. Slater can help you workshop the monologue and apply the lessons learned from this session.

Optional Coffee for Parents: During this time, parents can either observe the workshop or have coffee and chat with Martin Harold about admissions, financial aid, and more.

Lunch will be provided, with the opportunity to chat with current students in our Acting program.

If you would like to stay on campus longer, you are welcome to visit and observe this class by Prof. Rebecca Huber.

Course Description: Students will explore their natural singing voice and find their vocal identity through a variety of musical genres. Utilizing healthy vocal technique, students will develop and practice skills to enhance solo vocal performance. Topics may include but are not limited to: body alignment, releasing tension, onset/offset, breathing, resonance, focus of tone, registration, articulation, and expressivity.
