Kelas Show Choir di Petaling Jaya, Malaysia

Apakah itu Show Choir?

Anda mungkin pernah mendengar perkataan Show Choir atau mungkin anda pernah menonton siri TV yang terkenal GLEE, atau mungkin anda pernah terlihat poster atau promosi kami, tetapi adakah anda tahu apakah itu Show Choir?

Susunan yang menarik, tarian yang serentak, melodi dan harmoni yang cukup sempurna, dan acapkali dengan beberapa gabungan atau medley lagu. Inilah dunia Show Choir masa kini. Di Amerika, tradisi ini telah begitu lama di praktikkan namun di Malaysia, ia masih satu konsep yang baru.

Penerangan yang paling mudah untuk mendefinisikan Show Choir adalah ia adalah permulaan bagi teater muzikal. Sebagai ahli Show Choir anda akan dilatih untuk menyanyi, menari dan berlakon. Tidak seperti koir traditional yang menggunakan gerak tari yang minimal atau tanpa sebarang gerak tari, ahli Show Choir perlulah bersedia untuk melakukan gerak tari sepenuhnya yang seringkali mengikut tema atau jalan cerita tersendiri. Dan apa yang lebih menarik, sedang mereka menari, mereka juga perlu memastikan untuk menyanyi sama seperti, malahan adakalanya lebih baik dari koir tradisi.

Ahli Show Choir perlu bekerjasama untuk menghasilkan keharmonian bukan sahaja pada nyanyian tetapi juga pada pergerakan dan gerak tari mereka. Tetapi, apa yang lebih penting kepada suatu persembahan Show Choir, ada lah prosesnya itu sendiri. Pengalaman dalam Show Choir akan meningkatkan keyakinan diri serta menggalakkan kerjasama berkumpulan.

Show Choir bermula di Amerika Syarikat pada pertengahan 1960an meskipun sejarawan budaya tidak dapat mengenal pasti tarikh dan lokasi untuk kumpulan Show Choir yang pertama. Dua kumpulan persembahan yang mengembara, bermula dengan  The Young Americans pada 1962 dan diikuti dengan Up with People pada 1968, mengembara ke seluruh negara dalam tahun 1960an dan 1970an denagn konsep Show Choir. Apabila pelajar dan pengarah melihat persembahan ini, mereka pula memulakan kumpulan yang serupa di sekolah tinggi masing-masing.

** NEW** Program for Kids!!

For the month of April, Broadway Academy talent School is proud to present you two new programs for kids!

If your child have light feet and is highly energetic, then Broadway Dance Program for Kids would be a perfect place for them to utilize it to their maximum potential! Our instructors are highly skilled and experienced in choreography and dancing and they would choreograph dance steps that would fit your child’s ability and potential.

Your child is a bit shy and quiet? No worries, our nurturing instructors will help them open up and participate more in class. You will surely see the difference!

Students will learn at least two different songs chosen from various Broadway musicals in each term. As the class progress to different levels, the choreographies will become more complicated and advanced. The class aims to build repertoire for students as well as strengthening the basic skills needed in any dance they should partake in the future. Students will have a recital and perform in front of audiences by the end of each term.

Classes are tentatively set on Thursday, 6.30pm

Students of the Drama Program will be under the tutorship and leadership of various well-known and experienced practitioners in the fields of acting and theatre. The students enrolled in the Broadway Academy Talent School Drama Program will definitely enjoy learning more about stage movement, drama criticism, script interpretation, voice projection, warm-up techniques, script writing, as well as directing, all with a focus on plays from Broadway in New York.
