I am new to this forum. It seems like there is a lot of information here, but I am having trouble finding what I am looking for, so hopefully this will work!
I see a thread with a long list of various summer intensive options. Is there some place I can go to better understand the differences between them? For example, are there any sort of rankings of the different programs? Any way to know which are more intensive / less intensive, or which focus more on acting vs. singing vs. dance, or which is better for learning vs. having fun, etc.? Advantage/disadvantage of one of the college programs vs. programs such as Artsbridge/BAA/TPAP? Which are harder/easier to get into? I try going to the specific websites of the programs themselves, but sometimes it is still hard to tell.
In my specific situation, my son is a high school sophomore who wants to go into MT. Trying to decide a good program for this summer. Ideally would want to get the following out of the program:
- Exposure significant enough to help him decide - is this really the path he wants to go down or not? And if so, experience to understand his next steps, what he would look for in future programs, etc.
- Feedback to help him decide - does he have what it takes to go down this path or not?
- He has some dance training but not much (much stronger in singing and acting) - want dance training to be part of it but not an atmosphere where someone with minimal dance experience would be totally turned off and not be able to participate
- Loves singing, so important that the program has singing and not just acting
- Want something more on the intensive side - want to keep busy, minimize down time
- Prefer northeast, but that is not a must
- He would only be 15 (so I think that rules out some like CMU or Emerson)
Maybe with that background I can get some recommendations of what might fit best, or point me in the direction of where to best find the information I am looking for?
Thanks!
