TORONTO –
CityArts Creative Learning is pleased to announce
that the star of the hit Toronto musical “We Will
Rock You,” Valerie
Stanois, will be
teaching at our Triple Threat (T3) Workshop for
young performers this summer.
Ms.
Stanois’s innovative “T3” workshop provides
hands-on training in acting, singing, and dancing
skills for young performers aged 11 to 17. Each
week-long workshop will be headed by Ms. Stanois and
feature some of Toronto’s most talented performers as
guest instructors.
“I’m so
excited to be able to give back to the community by
leading this workshop for young performers! So many
performers inspired me growing up and I want to do
the same", says Ms. Stanois.
“We’re honored
that a performer of Valerie’s caliber has joined us
this year. We’ve also got an amazing line-up of
musicians to teach at this year’s Toronto Rock Camp,”
said Seraphim Marcopoulos, Managing Director of
CityArts Creative Learning.
Now in its
second year, the week-long Toronto Rock Camp gives
musicians aged 11 to 17 the opportunity to play
together in their very own band. Students are taught
how to write songs, given instruction on their
instruments, and coached on performance techniques
from the camp’s staff of professional music teachers
and industry professionals. Each week-long rock camp
culminates in a live concert performance that’s open
to friends and family.
The Ontario
Ministry of Education’s Focus on Youth program has
sponsored the Toronto Rock Camp, and CityArts is
making 24 full scholarships available for potential
students. Students can apply for a
