Acting • Music • Movement • Collective Creation How does an idea become a musical? Genç Müzikal brings together young people who want to explore musical theatre, bring their creative ideas to the stage, and collaboratively develop an original mini musical. Combining acting, music, dance, movement, and improvisation, the program encourages participants to become part of a collective creative process built around their own ideas. Training Time: Every Thursday, 8:30 PM - 10:00 PM Total Duration: 6 weeks / 9 hours All sessions will take place in person at Yücel Arts Center. Over six weeks, we will explore the essential elements of musical theatre, examine different musicals, and experience various performing arts disciplines. Through character development, stage expression, and creative acting exercises, we will explore different ways of telling stories. Improvisation will help us generate ideas, develop characters, and experiment with original scenes. We will work with voice, rhythm, and musical expression while exploring different ways of making music together. We will discover how music supports storytelling and becomes part of a collaborative performance. Through practical exercises, we will develop body awareness, explore movement design, and experience physical storytelling. We will discover how movement can communicate characters, emotions, and stories on stage. We will develop creative ideas, choose a shared theme, and build an original theatrical narrative around it. We will experiment with transforming our ideas into characters, events, and scenes. We will explore the relationship between space, movement, music, and acting to bring different elements of stage storytelling together. We will investigate how visual and physical choices can support the stories we create. By bringing different ideas together, we will develop original musical scenes. We will practice listening to one another, making shared decisions, and participating in a collaborative creative process. Based on the Devised Theatre (Collective Creation) approach, this program invites participants to develop their own story together rather than perform a pre-existing play. Working around a theme chosen collectively, participants will combine writing, acting, music, and dance to develop original scenes. Starting from an idea, we will explore storytelling, character development, and stage composition as part of a shared creative process. Through the Genç Müzikal Program, participants will: No previous training in acting, music, or dance is required! The program is open to young people interested in the performing arts who are curious about exploring, experimenting, imagining, discovering new ideas, and creating together. What matters is not professional experience, but curiosity, openness to experimentation, and a desire to create together! Making mistakes is allowed! Being silly is allowed! Having fun is allowed! Dreaming and experimenting are allowed! Here, we value exploring and creating together more than having right or wrong ideas. Make space for yourself and others, listen to different perspectives, and become part of the creative process!
