Design your own class schedule and study roster!
During June, students ages 1-2012 graduated senior may determine their daily schedule of performing and production arts study for as little as 90 minutes a day (one class), up to a full day of 4 classes.
Students may also design their own individualized program of performing and production arts study. Whatever your area of interest or level of expertise, Trollwood has a class just for you! With nearly 40 beginning to advanced classes to select from, students can expand their horizons by trying something new in a beginner’s course or challenge themselves with an advanced class. Taught by professionals from around the nation, these classes offer opportunities to explore all areas of the arts.
Recommendations for Registration:
Students benefit most when they experience a variety of arts disciplines. While some may be tempted to focus their class schedule only in a specific discipline, it is best to acquire a diverse arts background so students may become well-rounded performers and/or technicians. A broad versus narrow range of training may also be advantageous when applying to secondary education, art, and performance institutions.
For example, to be a proficient dancer, one should know not only how to execute the technique of the dance, but also be able to project the dramatic significance of it (acting classes), understand the rhythms and sounds (vocal and music classes), and be sensitive to the stage setting, lights, etc. (tech theatre classes).
A broad understanding of performing and production arts can help artists realize their full creative goals. For this reason, we encourage students to enroll in a variety of performing and production arts classes.
Class Placement Verification Day
In order for students to learn as much as possible in their classes at Trollwood, instructors will assess the skill level of each participant.
Teachers may make recommendations during the first two days of class that could include suggesting another class option that would better meet the student’s needs.
