AMDA Runs Workshop at YCIS Beijing AMDA在北京耀中举办工作坊
On Monday, YCIS Beijing was paid a visit by The American Musical and Dramatic Academy, or AMDA.
本周一，美国音乐与戏剧学院（AMDA）到访北京耀中。
AMDA voice coach, pianist and music director, Christopher Stephens – whose credits include the Broadway musical Wicked – led a theatrical workshop with eight of our aspiring performers in Secondary school. He was accompanied by Junnan Liao, whose role in recruitment at AMDA has taken him across the international schools of the world in search of outstanding talent.
AMDA的声音教练、钢琴家和音乐总监Christopher Stephens—其作品包括百老汇音乐剧《邪恶》—在中学部与来自我校的8位表演者合作了一场戏剧工作坊。陪同他的是廖俊喃，他在AMDA做招聘工作，负责走访世界各地的国际学校，寻找优秀的人才。
The workshop began with a warmup of face muscles, tongues, and voices. Christopher also introduced students to important breathing and posture exercises to prepare them for performance.
工作坊以面部肌肉、舌头和发声的热身练习开始。Christopher还向学生们介绍了重要的呼吸和形体练习，为他们的表演做好准备。
During the course of the workshop, students learned about projecting their voice and communicating with their whole bodies – including making eye contact as they delivered their lines to make their performance clearer. Christopher gave the students specific direction and advice for improving their performances, including how to carry on when they made mistakes.
在工作坊期间，学生们学习了如何发声，如何让声音与整个身体进行配合—包括如何通过目光交流更加充分的诠释台词，进而使他们的表演更加清晰。Christopher向学生们提供了改善其表演的具体方向和建议，包括如何在犯错时不中断表演。
“This week, AMDA are running auditions for their summer and degree programmes,” explained Ms Freda Humber, Drama Teacher at YCIS Beijing. “I hope that this workshop will give students the confidence to apply – by introducing them to important dramatic techniques, allowing them to receive and respond to feedback from a leading director, and perform under pressure.”
“本周，AMDA正在为他们的暑期和学位课程进行试镜，”北京耀中戏剧教师Freda Humber女士解释道，“这个工作坊向学生们介绍了重要的戏剧技巧，让他们接受并对主要导演的反馈进行回应，练习在压力下表演。经过这次工作坊，我们的学生应该会有更多的信心进行申请。”
