THE SCHOOL:
Liliana Maddams, Principal of the L.A. Talent School welcomes you!!
The object of the school is to give young people the opportunity to recognize and develop their talents to their full potential, while increasing their self-esteem and confidence in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, which provides the optimum way to express their own uniqueness and individuality in a creative manner.
The curriculum consists of training in singing, acting, ballet, tap, street funk and hip-hop, all of which form the full course. Although dance classes are taken separately, there is a close relationship between all classes, as together they lead to a complete production number in song and dance. These classes are designed to complete the students education in the dance forms required today. It is essential that any
student even slightly contemplating entering the entertainment industry must have a sound knowledge of all forms of the arts. However, single classes may be taken.
SINGING & ACTING:
The singing period consists of basic theory followed by singing in harmonies. Choreography of the songs learnt in the class follows, and the movements intensify as the ability of the student improves.
The drama program is especially designed to make students aware of the realities of modern theatre. The basic elements include script interpretation, movement for stage and television, voice production, acting to the camera, improvisation, auditioning for castings, modeling and catalogue work.
TEACHERS:
All teachers employed by the L.A. Talent School have had many years of professional experience on stage, television, in the classroom and are all fully qualified teachers and bring with them a wealth of knowledge.
SHOWGROUPS:
All students are eligible to audition for the show groups, which form the L.A. Talent Team. Members of these groups perform at Darling Harbour, Olympic Centre, Burwood Festival and at other venues throughout the year. Only students attending the full course will be chosen for show group i.e. tap, jazz, singing and acting. All show group students will receive a “show group trophy” at our end of year Christmas party.
