Music Theatre performance must go on
Music Theatre students at the University of Adelaide are adapting to online learning, performing together in class exercises from the ‘socially distant’ safety of their own homes.
Students have this week recorded a performance of ‘We Dance ’ from the musical Once on this Island as a means of keeping connected during the global COVID-19 pandemic.
George Torbay, Head of Music Theatre at the University’s Elder Conservatorium of Music, says he and his staff have devised a range of creative approaches to make online study possible.
The piece the students have recorded this week expresses the simple joy of what makes the world extraordinary; it celebrates life and all that the earth possesses and I told them to just have fun with it!George Torbay, Head of Music at the University's Elder Convservatorium
