Masquerade will be organising an intensive week of workshops in acting, dance and singing led by top UK practitioners.

These sessions will give students an opportunity to develop their technique in all three disciplines: solo singing, harmony singing, acting through song, improvisation, comedy, different dance styles such as jazz, contemporary, street as well as elements of contact work and improvisation.

Masquerade has been organising the summer experience workshops for the past 13 years.

“We want to ensure that Maltese participants have access to stimulating, tailor-made training opportunities – not just off the peg programmes.

“Each year we strive to offer a new focus and this year workshops students will explore the concept of time,” a Masquerade official said.

Time has inspired the greatest story and song writers in history. From Shakespeare to Eminem, J M Barrie to Cyndi Lauper and Stephen Sondheim to Frank Sinatra.

The greatest musicals feature songs about time

The greatest musicals all feature songs and lyrics about time. Cinderella was in a race against time, Captain Hook was plagued by a time piece throughout his swashbuckling days and Alice’s White Rabbit in Wonderland was always in a terrible hurry.

Everywhere we look icons of children’s and adults’ literature have been influenced by time.

The creatives for this year’s workshops are musical director Steve Clark and acting coach Claire Bryan.

Both have run schools and workshops across the UK and are renowned for creating innovative theatre which inspires and educates students.

They will be collaborating with choreographer/dance tutor Elena Zammit, whose training and experience will allow her to share the knowledge with the students and to explore different dance styles.

Her sessions will incorporate working on the physicality of the body as well as expression through movement.

The idea of time will be explored, challenged and developed through movement. Through unique musical arrangements, an intricate weaving of classic and contemporary texts and innovative movement sessions, these workshops give everyone a chance to have their time.
