Today we feature a new performing arts program happening in NYC, Flourish! This program, founded and created by Alan Dornak, helps deliver additional training to individuals in the performing arts. Gathering some of the finest faculty in voice, acting and dance, Flourish is a one stop shop for aspiring performers.
FLOURISH PERFORMING ARTS
Flourish Performing Arts is pleased to present an exciting new three-week musical theater training program based in Washington Heights - Upper Manhattan. Flourish prioritizes the individual needs of both the aspiring professional and the established performer seeking to further develop their craft. We hope you enjoy this episode of Jam with Alan Dornak.
Flourish is not a traditional “school” that emphasizes curriculum and grades, but rather a community of passionate performers, teachers, and industry professionals working together to uncover and investigate hidden potential, expand and polish established attributes, and help craft a path to success. This summer is a launching point for future workshops, master classes and more extended curricular programs.
Flourish Summer 2024 offers personalized attention focusing on, but not limited to, the three main disciplines of musical theater: Singing, Acting, and Dance. With a set weekly schedule that includes Individual Lessons, Coachings, Group Classes and Master Classes, participants will be encouraged to develop and deepen their personalized understanding of the performing craft. These three weeks will also offer professional development opportunities such as Audition Training, Resumé and Website Instruction, as well as Workshops with guest industry professionals.
There is still time to register for this season. For more information go to:
