I have been training at various schools universities and theatre companies over the past year and I have observed some pretty interesting effects of the Theatre Fitness Program. The need for this unique program has become more apparent than before. It’s more than just a fun time. It is truly a strategic approach to a performer’s ability to bust past barriers and limiting beliefs. This program levels up performers and changes lives. Here are 10 reasons why you are going to want to implement this program into your next school year:
1: Break the ice! Especially for incoming freshman, kids are so worried about how they are perceived by others. T-Fit helps break down barriers that discourage creativity and taking risks.
2: Expose your students to multiple dance genres like Jazz, Hip Hop, Modern, Pantomime, Fosse, and Ballet.
3: Develop the skill of blending vocals with movement. Training this skill consistently builds a greater capacity to layer in multiple levels of performance and blend them.
4: Build resiliency. T-Fit isn’t simple. It requires leaning into new movement challenges that might make you feel silly at first. Every time you do something hard, it changes the way you think. learn that you can do hard things and see it through. In time, confidence grows and insecurity diminishes.
5: Improve fitness levels! Students increase their respiratory recovery rate, and can bring out powerful vocals.
6: Enhance storytelling skills. T-Fit layers in movement texture and stylization that shifts and evolves throughout the workout, encouraging creative ownership and taking artistic risks.
7: Improve vocal breath technique. We apply lower abdominal breathing techniques and vocal fold closure while under fatigue to improve respiratory recovery and breath budgeting.
8: Instill a love of fitness. T-Fit challenges the traditional look and expectation of what fitness is. Approaching fitness from a theatrical angle, truly moves a drama kid in ways that other physical activities can’t.
9: Add to your student’s dance toolkit. Each workout incorporates dance techniques from different disciplines. The next time your students are working with their choreographer, it won’t be the first time they’ve heard of a pas de bouree, pirouette, or a time step.
10: T-Fit is SO MUCH FUN! In just an hour, we simulate a real life musical. It morphs into sweet musical theatre bliss!
