Youth Production group

Group C

The Youth Production Group is intended for disciplined young people (of secondary school age and up) who aspire to perform in a semi-professional theatre production.

Time and location

The teenagers in the Youth Production Group rehearse on Friday evenings from 5:15 PM to 8:15 PM at the WG-terrein. The door is open at 17:00 PM. This group starts on September 4, 2026.

You may enter 15 minutes before the rehearsal starts. Please wait quietly in the kitchen.

Audition

An audition is required to join the Youth Production Group. The audition assesses the children's natural aptitudes. We also look for a suitable role for the performance, taking the child's wishes into account.

Inhoud repetities

In the first months of the new year, the focus is on personal and group development, getting to know and trusting one another, and progressing in the disciplines of (choral) singing, acting, and dance.

Singing:

• Vocal technique: breath support, proper vocal usage, singing with the right energy, mouth positioning, twang, timing, phrasing, chest voice (thick vocal folds) and head voice (thin vocal folds), ear training, and solfège.
• Choral and polyphonic singing.
• Song interpretation
  
  

Acting:

• Performance techniques: volume, timing, use of the body, body language, positioning in space.
• Developing freedom in acting
• Types and characters
• Interaction with other players
• Scene interpretation: what is the scene about, what happens, what do you want, what is the problem?
  
  

Dancing:

• Dance techniques: classical positions, use of breath, spatial awareness, correct use of the body.
  
• Body control
  
• Conditioning and strength training
• Groove and authenticity
• Various dance styles
  

Planning

We rehearse from September through June. There are no rehearsals during school holidays. 

We work with a rehearsal schedule planned at least one month in advance. This allows the children to see what is expected of them and what they need to know for a specific rehearsal. 

There may be rehearsals where your presence is not required, or only partially required. This gives your family the flexibility to take time off when the opportunity arises. However, when you are listed on the schedule, you are expected to attend.

What do you need

You make sure to bring your gear to every rehearsal. Here is what you are expected to bring:

• Folder (with or without holes, for song lyrics, dialogue, assignments, information, scripts, and other material)
• Notebook
• Pencil and eraser (for taking notes. You can attach this to the folder so you always have it with you.)
  
• Non-slip socks
• Water bottle
• Lax-vox tube
• Comfortable clothing that allows you to move easily.

Lax Vox

The Lax Vox method will also be used during choir and vocal rehearsals. Ideally, a Lax Vox tube is used; you can purchase one yourself, or it can be purchased for you. The cost is €5.
