Yes, I could be paying attention, but I knew there was a camera on me.
On Jan 31, and Feb 1st, as part of the Niagara Star Singer’s Disney World tour, I took part in two workshops with Disney Performing Arts. In a very short summary, they were awesome.
For one workshop we were whisked “backstage” at Epcot to work in a great rehearsal space and for the other, we worked in a performance theatre at one of the resorts. So the venues were great and we had a Disney performer named Cameron work with us. He was everything you could ask for in a coach. Cameron had energy to burn, he pushed us and pulled us along, he was able to share all sorts of insider stories about working at Disney and he was a super teacher.

While at Epcot, we worked on staging a classic Disney stage number called Adventureland and we staged the opening scene to Beauty and The Beast in our other workshop. Cameron led both workshops which was great since he already had an idea of what we could do and cuz we liked him so much.
I can’t recommend these workshops highly enough to anyone that does musical theatre or live performance. We were treated so well and we learned so much. They were great and two of the best mornings I’ve spent in a long time.
