Broadway Dreams NZ 2019 Summer Intensive

Registrations are now open for our second Broadway Dreams Foundation NZ Summer Intensive Musical Theatre programme in Auckland in January 2019.

Following on from the success of the 2018 programme, Broadway Dreams NZ has partnered with Broadway Dreams US to bring their highly successful Summer Intensive to Auckland once again.

The Summer Intensive is a rigorous, professional training programme, with a focus on acting, vocal performance, and dance, with an international creative team of Directors, Choreographers, Performers and Casting Directors straight from Broadway. Places are strictly limited and will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis.

Our 2019 Summer Intensive is shaping up to be bigger and better than ever! Running over 9-days, we have a team of six US faculty members coming to Auckland to share their extensive experience, knowledge and skills with our students, through a variety of workshops, masterclasses and showcase segments. The US team is currently being finalised and will be announced very soon.

Registration:
Visit our website to complete an online registration form.

As part of the registration process, you will need to upload the following: a link to a video of yourself performing 1-minute of singing (16-32 bars), dancing or delivering a monologue; an up-to-date performance/training cv (2-pages maximum); a current headshot (doesn’t need to be a professional photo, a good shot taken on a phone will be fine).

Students do not need to audition to attend the 2019 Summer Intensive. However, all students must supply a 1-minute performance video as detailed above as part of the Registration process. These videos are used to assist our Broadway Dreams US faculty to tailor the programme and select repertoire that is suitable and appropriate for the students attending.

Scholarships:
At Broadway Dreams NZ we offer full or partial financial-needs based scholarships, opening up our programme to talented performers whose financial status might otherwise prevent them from attending.

Applications for these scholarships are now open for the 2019 Summer Intensive and will close on 1 October 2018. Applicants must demonstrate financial-need in order to apply. All applicants will be notified by 20 October 2018.

Visit our website for more information on Financial-Needs Scholarships and to complete an Application form.

New York Showcase:
At the end of the 2019 Summer Intensive, our US team will select at least three lucky New Zealanders to perform at the Broadway Dreams US Summer Showcase in New York in November 2019.

The New York Showcase is our international premier event, and is attended by top Broadway directors, casting agents, theatre companies, universities, venue operators and composers scouting for new talent. While BDFNZ is committed to working with the students selected to assist with covering costs, the recipients chosen may have to pay for some, or all, of their own travel and living expenses when attending the NY showcase.

Broadway Dreams NZ is a not-for-profit, performing arts, educational Charitable Trust, whose mission is to provide talented youth and young adults, from all socioeconomic backgrounds, with expert performance training, life skills and mentorship opportunities from the international entertainment industry’s most distinguished talents and inspire students ‘Dreamers’ to awaken their highest potential.
