Joey Clarkson is a musical theatre instructor from the Comox Valley. For the past 7 years she has been travelling Canada and abroad teaching and directing musical theatre workshops. Musical theatre is a powerful tool in developing self confidence, acceptance and teamwork. Joey began teaching theatre at the age of 13, formed her own volunteer organization at 15, opened her own business at 17 and toured nationally at 19. At 20, released her first album, co wrote and produced her first musical and instructed and toured her own music internationally. She has raised over $100,000 through projects initiated for various charities, been a recipient of a variety of community service awards and is the informal North Island Youth Ambassador for Habitat for Humanity. Now at 25, she continues to teach musical theatre workshops locally, nationally and internationally as far away as the UK and the UAE.
Workshops are intense high energy rehearsals learning lines, theatre sports, choreography, melodies, harmonies, stage presence and most importantly teamwork, while building valuable social skills and self esteem
A major goal of the workshop is to raise the level of self-confidence of the students with techniques to bring out their creativity and personality. Encouraging teamwork and self expression, the children learn musical numbers and script complete with simple choreography and present it to their parents at the end of the program.
The 5.5 hour Professional Day Workshop is $60 per child, ($50 if you register before February 20) with discounts for additional siblings after 2.
