Broadway Utica host first Master Classes for Students on Broadway! Program

Broadway Utica kicks off it’s first event since reintroducing Students on Broadway! This one of a kind program is designed to expose the arts to children of all ages right here in the Mohawk Valley.

The event was held on Tuesday, July 16th at the Parish on Broadway with Dennis J. Clark. Several dozen students took place in our morning session with a vocal class learning the importance of discovering who is telling the story and why this story needs to be told. The afternoon class with Dennis discussed movement as it pertains to the development of the character and the story being told. Students discovered how the very same movement can be adapted slightly for various scenarios.

Dennis was born and raised in New Hartford, NY and graduated from SUNY Geneseo with a major in Music-Vocal Performance and Musical Theatre. He has performed, directed and choreographed all over the United States and is a proud member of Actors Equity and the Society of Stage Directors and Choreographers. Dennis has taught privately as well as at the Walnut Hill School and Stagedoor Manor. Currently, he is the Artistic Director of the Ritz Theatre in Sheffiled, AL.

Stay tuned for the next event for Students on Broadway!
