Workshops
We have extensive backgrounds as teachers, and are
always interested in sharing our insights on musical theatre and how
to become a successful artist. Tom
has taught scene study for musicals, drama and comedy, beginning technique
and advanced acting privately as well as for AMDA and CAP21 in New York. David
has taught voice and musical theatre performance at Northeastern and
Suffolk University in Boston and is currently a professor of voice at
Marymount Manhattan College. He also maintains an active private studio
in New York.
We have been featured lecturers
and performers at the 2011 MTNA/NATS Conference, and
enjoy
teaching as part of our collaboration. Below
is a list of workshops we offer:
Masterclass on musical theatre audition technique
Auditions ask the performer to meld vocal and acting
techniques with artistic
instinct. Finding that balance in the moment is the challenge. We
offer practical advice on how to engage casting agents and directors
by showing your best self.
Masterclass on approaching contemporary musical theatre
The demands on contemporary musical theatre performers are
far different than those of a generation ago. Performers must
have a wide variety of skills at their disposal. We will
share our experience as writer-performers, giving insight on how
to analyze the text and subtext of the lyric and music, and connect
with the material as a singing actor.
Seminar: “The Working Artist: Collaboration
Across Multiple Disciplines”
Today's market is saturated with talented and driven individuals. What
sets you apart? Gualtieri and Sisco will explain how versatility
and collaboration are the keys to creating a successful career in
the arts.
Putting it Together: A Cabaret
Showcasing a range of songs from the Golden
Age to the present day, alongside work by Gualtieri & Sisco, this 85-minute lecture/cabaret
is a unique entertainment. By illuminating song forms in the musical
theatre, Gualtieri & Sisco help audiences rediscover the art which
has dominated American theatre for the past 100 years.
