Each week students will team up with composer Elliot Roth (Music Director, Two River Theater Summer Intensives) and choreographer Dionna PridGeon (Founder and Creative Director, moveDIPR, Guest Choreographer for TRT Summer Intensives '19) to learn a fun and challenging song and dance number, which they'll perform that Friday as the Opening Act for Two River's Plaza Players outdoor performance. Sessions are from 5 pm to 7 pm Monday through Friday, with performances at 7:00 pm each Friday before the Plaza Players show.
"We are thrilled for students and teaching artists to work together in person again this summer," says Director of Education Kate Cordaro. "This program fuses the unique talents of Elliot and Dionna with the joy and resilience of high schoolers and shares it with the audiences of Two River. What a long, strange year it has been. It's time to sing and dance together!"
