The Palace Hosts Triple Threat Performer Intensive for Students

Under the inspiring direction of Luis Salgado, assistant choreographer of the Tony-winning “In the Heights” and choreographer for Nickelodeon, students in The Palace Theatre’s Triple Threat Performer Intensive immersed themselves in the exciting process of acting, singing and dancing. Designed to encompass the diverse components of musical theatre, the intensive focused on the making of art with a purpose as part of The Palace’s Arts Education program. Classes were led by Salgado and a select group of experienced New York artists from his renowned company, Salgado Productions. Students engaged in master classes exploring the disciplines of acting, singing, and dancing (musical theatre, body percussion, hip-hop, latin fusion and more). At the end of this transformative week, students came away with a deeper understanding of how to successfully integrate song, dance, and character interpretation within a musical theatre piece, using all tools to support their journey as an actor to communicate their character’s central truth.
