Bring the magic to the crowd with our Cabaret Skills Performance Course. Grow your stage persona with musicality and confidence and become the greatest entertainer in the field.
Led by award-winning performer, Robert Hazle, in our course, you will explore suitable repertoire for your voice and personality/stage persona to build a short ‘set’ of songs. This might include anecdotes, repartee with the pianist, or audience interaction. If you’d like to warm up those vocal chords, there will also be an opportunity to sing with others.
The course will finish with a showcase in a central cabaret venue in front of an invited audience and hosted by international cabaret superstar Joe Morose (“The Dandy Prince of Cabaret”) with Robert Hazle at the piano.
