ROLE OF MUSICAL THEATRE IN PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT

BUILDING CONFIDENCE
 

One of the key aspects of musical theater that everyone experiences is stage
fright. But with regular stints at the Pasadena Musical, people overcome it and
perform at their best, even in front of huge audiences. This is a key aspect
when it comes to building confidence in real life. Through practice, your
self-belief will grow, and so will your quality of life.

ENHANCING COMMUNICATION SKILLS

Improved communication skills can help people in every facet of life, both
professional and personal. At our theater, students have to regularly go through
public speaking practice. We help them articulate their lines better and with
more clarity. This helps them present their best selves on stage and off it.

EMOTIONAL EXPRESSION
 

When you portray different characters and their emotional expressions, you
develop a sense of empathy. For many, playing these characters can be an
'emotional release' that frees them from pent-up frustration during their
regular days. It can help people connect with a broader audience and help them
understand people better.

CULTURAL AWARENESS
 

At the Pasadena Musical Theatre Program, we do not limit student expression and
choice. It results in our students bringing a variety of different pieces from
across the world. In many cases, they also have to read up on the history of the
people and their culture to improve their performance. This helps them learn and
understand global perspectives.

COORDINATION AND FITNESS

Contrary to popular belief, theater is a lot of physical work as well! Our
faculty ensures that students go through a range of physical warm-ups and
exercises to prepare for their role. It helps them greatly during the dance and
other movement routines that are part of the performance. Doing this on a
regular basis can improve strength, stamina, and motor skills.

TEAMWORK AND COLLABORATION

Regardless of whether a student has a singular role in a performance or not, we
ensure they are always part of a group. It helps them better connect to a group
and ensures all of them are working on improving their performances. Students at
the theater go through several trust-building exercises and conflict resolution
that can also help in day-to-day life.


EDUCATIONAL BENEFITS OF PARTICIPATING IN MUSICAL THEATRE

PUBLIC SPEAKING SKILLS

Performing in front of a crowd of people can definitely improve the public
speaking prowess of people. We teach them several techniques that allow them to
amplify their stage presence, such as voice projection and audience engagement
strategies. We help them overcome anxiety related to presenting themselves on a
stage.

ENHANCED COGNITIVE SKILLS

The Pasadena Musical Theatre Program also encourages students to think on their
feet. Performers need to memorize scripts, multitask, and think of solutions to
problems that might arise during a performance. We also teach them several
exercises to improve focus and concentration, which helps them deal with
off-stage situations.




BOOSTING CRITICAL THINKING

To bring out a believable and impactful performance on stage, students need to
research thoroughly into characters and their lines. They have to learn to
evaluate themselves and self-critique, which helps improve their performance in
the long run. We also help them improve their decision-making through roles that
challenge them intellectually and creatively.

EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE

When it comes to the youth of today, there is a severe lack of emotional
intelligence. Participating in theater encourages students to connect better
with their characters, resulting in more empathy. It helps them recognize and
understand their character's emotions, which in turn helps them with their own.


TESTIMONIALS

Ever since I was young, I've been an introvert all my life. I used to envy
people who had the confidence to speak their minds. When I joined the Pasadena
Musical Theater Program, all that changed! Now I find myself enrolling into
courses in school that I would never have thought of earlier. Even my friends
tell me how much I've improved when it comes to speaking!

-- Nora Donato from The Los Angeles SEO

People have often misunderstood theater and say it's only for aspiring actors.
But they couldn't be further from the truth. Ever since I've taken up the
program, I have noticeably improved my public speaking and that has helped me at
work too. If you want personal development, you should definitely opt for the
Pasadena Musical Theatre Program.

-- Enrique Sievert

One of the best things I've done for myself in recent times is enrolling into
the Pasadena Musical Theatre Program and it has been nothing short of a blast!
Whoever thought that acting would be so much fun? Add to that meeting a whole
mob of funny and super cool people, and it makes for an unforgettable time.
Would definitely recommend it!

-- Kenneth Torres
