2007 FREE STAGECRAFT MASTERCLASS
. . . . . Stagecraft Masterclass: Presentation techniques for concert performers, presented by Patrick Lim.
. . . . . Venue : Golden Grove Arts Centre on Monday 13 August at 7.30pm
. . . . . Our role as performers is to communicate with an audience. We are interpreting music and/or text and
. . . . . sharing this with an audience. This important point is often forgotten when as performers we need to
. . . . . concentrate on the technical demands of the music. However, to express the music effectively,
. . . . . we also need to communicate well with the audience as artists, not just through the music.
. . . . . This means our stage presence, our presentation and our relationship with the audience are
. . . . . paramount to the success of our musical performance. Negative aspects of our presentation will
. . . . . distract the audience from our music, whereas a confident, well-executed presentation will enhance
. . . . . our performance and create a clean and relaxed palette against which we can then perform our music.
. . . . . Whilst we want to be natural on stage, this will not necessarily come naturally.
. . . . . We have to overcome nerves, practise our presentation skills and build up experience in developing a
. . . . . relationship with our audience.
. . . . . Today's masterclass will address these points in a practical way with student performances.
. . . . . We will cover the following interconnected topics:
. . . . . • Making a Confident and Engaging Entrance
. . . . . • Posture and stance
. . . . . • Warming up (our bodies for presentation, not just our instrument/voice)
. . . . . • Physical energy and energised muscles
. . . . . • Arms and what to do with them
. . . . . • Body Language
. . . . . • Eye Contact
. . . . . • Acknowledging the adjudicator/audience
. . . . . • Gauging and responding to the reaction of the audience and developing a relationship with the audience
. . . . . • Adapting to the size and nature of the Venue
. . . . . • Working with your Accompanist or associate artists
. . . . . • Bowing and Exiting
. . . . . • Speaking in your presentation
. . . . . • Maintaining your presentation during the music
. . . . . Extra points discussed during the masterclass :
. . . . . • Practise until you get it right.
. . . . . • Be strategic, carefully select item/s that suit you and demonstate your ability.
. . . . . • Adelaide often has short runs for shows.
. . . . . • Eye contact, engage your audience from your entry, lift your chin, a small bow, don't look at the floor.
. . . . . • What happens next ? Tell or project a story to involve the audience.
. . . . . • When introducing an item with an accompanist use a line such, "We will perform ........."
. . . . . • Your hands. Don't conduct or use in other distracting ways such as touching your clothing.
. . . . . • Breathing and projecting to involve the whole audience.
. . . . . • Create a flow of energy from the floor and maintain a good posture.
. . . . . • Shake out, loosen up, before walking on and decide where you will stop on the stage.
. . . . . • If adjusting your position, etc. on stage do it as if you mean it and keep mistakes to yourself.
. . . . . • Save highlights of an item for 'peaks' in the performance of it.
. . . . . • Acknowledge your accompanist by a gesture and hold it sufficiently.
. . . . . • Step back for others to be acknowledged.
. . . . . • Use subtext or suitable description to set the mood and assist your item.
. . . . . • Use individual audience focus or cumulative depending on circumstances.
. . . . . • Use back acting to support a scene or other artist/s as necessary.
. . . . . . The free Masterclass duration was 75 minutes and any performer or person that appears in front of any audience
. . . . . . was most welcome to attend.
. . . . . . Presentation technique is often overlooked and seldom taught except in specialised enterprises.
. . . . . . The components of body language, clarity of presentation, audience response, etc. were clearly demonstrated by :
. . . . . . Patrick Lim B.Mus.(Hons. Performance), LL.B(Hons), B.A., A.S.D.A.(Performer),
Australian director and performer,
. . . . . . one of Australia’s most outstanding emerging artists with professional credits in opera, musical theatre and cabaret,
. . . . . . the 2005 Young Achiever of the Year and 2005-2007 Artistic Director to the South Australian Primary Schools’ Festival of Music.
. . . . . . The STAGECRAFT MASTERCLASS in presentation technique for concert performers was
initiated by the Adelaide Eisteddfod
. . . . . . Society in co-operation with “OOTS” and talented rising stars from the Adelaide Eisteddfod worked with Patrick in the session.
