THE FIFTH ANNUAL CABARET CONFERENCE AT YALE UNIVERSITY ANNOUNCED
Erv Raible, Executive Director/Artistic Director, has announced the
Fifth Annual Cabaret Conference at Yale University, which will be held
July 27th through August 5th. It is an internationally focused, nine-day
teaching program that offers an intensive look at the art of cabaret
performance technique, and trains professionals for the live entertainment
industry. The Great American Songbook will be addressed and promoted
in its entirety, from its origins in the late 19th century through the
classic pop standards of the 1930s and 40s to today's contemporary cabaret,
musical theater, jazz, and pop music.
The Cabaret Conference at Yale University is being developed
in conjunction with the Yale School of Drama/Yale Repertory Theater.
Several conference sessions will be held in the facilities of the
Yale School of Drama/Yale Repertory Theater, including the recently
opened New Theater. Students have come from across the United States,
Australia, Canada, Germany, Greece, New Zealand, Russia, South Africa
and the United Kingdom.
An award-winning faculty, and renowned special guests,
will guide thirty-six students in a collaborative process of critical
refining and honing. The conference will feature classes and lectures
covering cabaret performance technique, acting for singers, lyric
interpretation, focus and concentration, act structure, act writing,
material research, and comedic development, to musical director and
director relations, arranging, orchestration, composer/lyricist relations,
and image consultation. Examine the final stages of act presentation
through club relations, marketing, press and public relations, to
the technical language of light and sound, representation, booking,
management and personal networking; with an emphasis on integration
into the international live entertainment community.
Public performances will allow the students to observe
first-hand the performance techniques of professionals in the industry,
while continuing to study those of their peers on a daily performance
basis. At the Cabaret Conference Curtain Call the students will perform,
demonstrating what they have accomplished in their nine days at the
Cabaret Conference at Yale University.
