Guidance Regarding Casting Decisions (Updated 01/24)
If you are a returning Lovegood family and your student has previously been enrolled in our KIDS classes, please review this information as it has been updated for this class season.
GUIDANCE REGARDING CASTING DECISIONS
When auditioning for a show, or in this case a variety of theatrical material, students typically have a goal and/or desire to be considered for a specific role. While it’s great to have goals, it’s also helpful to understand that casting may not always turn out the way one would hope. We find it helpful if you start preparing your student for potential disappointment if they aren’t cast in the role that they were hoping for. We encourage you to start having those conversations with your student now, before the next class.
There are many factors that are considered during the casting process. It’s not just about the students ability to sing, dance and act. How a student behaves during class and the audition process is just as important. Do they listen and take direction well? Are they willing to sing a solo? Do they show effort and energy in their performance? These are just a few examples.
It’s also important to note that if a student isn't cast as they had hoped, it doesn’t mean that they did poorly on their audition. In this class format all students will perform together; students who show directors they are able to take on more responsibility with performing may be given more and placed in a leadership position for their peers. All roles are important and necessary to tell the story.
Thank you for your understanding and support in helping to make this class experience a positive one for your student. It’s our hope that your student will enjoy the process, embrace the role(s) that they are assigned, grow in their skills and have a fun class!
PRACTICE AT HOME
It will be very important for your student to put in time each week outside of class time to work on their material (acting, singing & dancing). This will include learning and memorizing lines, songs and dances. In your email, you will be provided access to our class Callboard. This will be our main means of communication with you after the first class night and will contain all the necessary information and materials your student will need to be successful in this class. The instructors may provide choreography videos, vocal part tracks, etc. to aid in at home practice; however, students are encouraged to take notes during class as they're able and not rely on these supplemental materials.
