Stephen Ryan:

"I am delighted to be able to teach the stylish and dazzling choreography from the musical Jersey Boys. I have spent the last three years working with the show in the UK and around the world. Id as swing and eventually played the role of Joe Pesci. We will start with an easy warm up to get the body ready and then get straight into the choreography for the finale “Who Loves You”. Transport yourselves back in time to the era of the doo-wop, close harmony groups and eye catching moves from Tony award winning choreographer Sergio Trujillo. I will be looking at detail within the movement and teaching both male and female variations. Girls imagine heels and boys imagine suit jackets. If we have time I will teach a 90s hip hop number from the show too which is explosive and energetic. Two very different but fun dance routines."

REMEMBER:
Make sure to wear comfy clothes, no jeans.
Wear trainers(If girls have character shoes/heels they can wear them)

We have a very exciting opportunity here to have a Q&A with one of the West Ends biggest stars. Come down for the interview section with a chance to ask your own questions afterwards!

Acting through song sessions (Paige Peddie):

"I'll be working with individuals on acting through song techniques and exercises to get the best out of their chosen musical theatre song.

We will work on techniques such as: Character analysis, Characters objectives, The emotional ark/journey of a song Language in the song and Music cues amongst others.

Lesson format: For 2 hours, I will work with 6 students on their chosen song (20 minutes each). The rest of the students will be asked to watch, make notes, give feedback, discuss & think about each individuals performance and we will all work together to uplift the person and make their performance the best it can be."

If you wish to be a performer you can do so by emailing ULMusicalTheatreSociety@gmail.com your name and the song you would like to perform with the subject line "West End Masterclass 4 Performer Booking". That booking will cost €6.

If you wish to watch the other performers and take some valuable notes based on their performance, and just support the performers, you can attend the workshop for free.

As well as threading the boards on London and Dublin stages, Brian has been a qualified voice teacher since 2020 upon receiving his accreditation from
Voice College London through Ria Keen, and training with The Royal Irish Academy of Music over a 4 year period between 2010 and 2013 under the tutorage of Mary Brennan, Deborah Kelleher and Mairead Hurley. Brian’s workshop will concentrate on the significance of productive vocal techniques in singing approaches geared towards being a high standard Musical Theatre/Contemporary Singer, and will also cover a range of technical and musical objectives singers can set out to achieve to develop an understanding of their instrument and how it can be used to its best.

Simon Trinder - actor/practitioner

I specialise in two specific areas of teaching. Firstly, the Stanislavski based approach of my mentor, the director; Mike Alfreds. This approach, laid out in his book Different Every Night, uses actions and objectives in a super simple and practical way to create immediate connection and true freedom in the actor. It is a quickly taught and repeatable approach to any text or medium. I have utilised this approach in my own career over 20 years working with Shakespeare (RSC, Globe), on television and film regularly and in commercial musical theatre (Disney's The Lion King and the RSC's Merry Wives; The Musical). I have a set 2 hr session on this that I have been using for several months.

In this session, we teach people what an action is, how to play one and apply it to text as well as how to phrase, frame and apply an objective so it ACTUALLY brings life to the scene and makes the actor 'think like the character'. It is physical, energised and hugely informative.

Here are some testimonials from recent participants on the aforementioned workshops, many thanks!

-Simon Trinder

‘Blew my mind!’

‘That was amazing!’

‘I have studied acting for 8 years, and nobody has ever mentioned verse or prose! It all makes so much more sense!’

‘Thankyou for this wonderful masterclass - Simon Trinder is fabulous!!’

‘Amazing!’

‘I have to say, I’ve not really been a huge fan of Shakespeare In the past but, even in just the two hours, I feel like I’ve learned more intricacies about it than I ever learnt anywhere else and now have a new appreciation for the language and how it’s formed’

‘Truly excellent.’

‘So inspiring & informative’

‘Wow Wow Wow, what an amazing Shakespeare masterclass! Simon Trinder is a fantastic coach! I learned so much.’

‘You explain text in such a fresh and accessible way... two hours with you, you've given me a new found understanding which actually resonates!’

‘I wish all acting was taught so concisely.’

‘it's been a true gift’

Dance Workshop - The Lion King My workshop usually starts with a comprehensive version of the warm up that I typically give the cast members of The Lion King - this includes various dance techniques and body conditioning exercises that I find useful for performing the show. I will then teach the choreography from the show such as Lioness Hunt (ladies), Kick Butt (men) and if we have time I can also teach a small bit of He Lives in You. Details, nuances and performance quality will be emphasized so that students will not just know the steps, but also get a taste of performing the number. 

Tickets €6 and available here! Please pay via PayPal!

Join us on our Discord Server for our EGM! Positions up for grabs on the committee so don't be afraid to get involved!

We are collabing with Music Soc for a Netflix Party of the Corpse Bride followed by a Halloween Kahoot Quiz. UL Student Life have kindly sponsored some fabulous prizes we will be giving out on the night so don't miss it! We will be hosting it on Music Soc's Discord Server! Don't forget to have your Netflix Account and Teleparty Chrome Extension ready to go for a Spook-tacular night!

Come and join us Thursday 15th for our Virtual AGM!

Zoom link will also be in our Instagram bio on the night so why not get involved with our society this coming semester for a series of virtual events and hopefully a few in person ones later in the semester!

If you want to run for committee or just looking for a virtual society to join while on-campus activities are suspended, come along!

Get stuck in to the student experience and run for committee to help other students engage and make friends while bonding over a shared interest! It also counts towards your PVA if you get voted on! DM us if you have any questions and we can’t wait to see you on the night ?

Come and meet the committee and other members for our first virtual online meeting! Come chat with us about our plans for the semester and how you can get involved!
