Cabaret Performance: Connecting to Your Lyric

Cabaret Performance: Connecting to Your Lyric

Overview

Cabaret is a unique style of singing and musical performance that is known for its intimacy and the emphasis it places on the lyric. It is also an art-form that allows performers of all levels to find a stage. Held on the Upper East Side, this workshop welcomes performers to bring songs they are familiar with and learn how to connect deeply with the lyrics. Participants will learn to communicate the meaning and intention of each song to their audience, whether performing live or on camera. In cabaret, the audience (whether friends, family, or strangers) becomes the performer's silent scene partner. Through their personal connection to the lyrics and unique interpretation, performers engage and captivate their audience in an intimate, shared experience.
