SWITZERLAND was fantastic… Such a beautiful country and amazing people.  My students there were very gifted and their work ethic was amazing.       I very much hope to return next year to the World Dance Movement, headed by the incomparable Michele Assaf.

This week I will be teaching APAN students from Australia and we’ll be working here in Los Angeles for the week. I’m so excited to see everyone I met here last year and then worked with in Perth last October.  They’re like my family.

Also, I have now set dates for L.A. and Toronto:

My  MUSICAL THEATRE WORKSHOP with INDUSTRY SHOWCASE begins  Monday, April 29th and the Showcase is July 1st. Please email me at bobgarrett5@gmail.com for further details.

The VOICE GYM begins May 7- June 11th. This is a GET YOUR BOOK TOGETHER class  for TV singing competitions (the Voice, American Idol, etc.) and Musical Theatre..  Each student will work on one song per week designed personally for the above shows.  Also contact at Bobgarrett5@gmail.com

The Toronto Workshop dates are July 20- 22nd.   Very excited to see my Toronto friends.. Til next time.

I’m thrilled to be going to Lucern to teach Master Classes in Singing and Acting for Musical Theatre and Film.  Being part of the World Dance Movement headed by Michele Assaf is going to be a memory to last a lifetime!  I’ll be there the first week of April.

Afterwards, I return  to L.A. to teach the Australian Performing Arts Network students who I visited and taught  in Perth last year. I couldn’t be more excited than to reunite with them!

I’ve also readjusted my dates for THREE  new L.A. workshops:                                                                                                                                                             1. THE Musical Theatre Workshop

SPRING IN THE VALLEY OF THE SWISS ALPS!

MARCH 30, 2013 to APRIL 7, 2013

Looking forward to a great Spring with you all.

Happy New Year to all!   I am thrilled to announce that my work with  Jessica Lange on American Horror Story’s production number of “The Name Game” has gone viral! The number was ingeniously conceived by Ryan  Murphy and brilliantly shot by Michael Leeman. Jessica’s work was of course, perfection and our process together over a period of weeks was an exciting and fun pleasure.  Check it out on Youtube.

Next up is Create the Role workshop showcase on January 17th at J.E.T. Studios  in North Hollywood and my continuing work on the book and lyrics for  the new original musical “SING!”  soon to be scheduled for a workshop.

I’ll also announce dates for  Musical Theatre Workshops in Los Angeles, Vancouver and Toronto by the end of the month.

Happy and Healthy to all!

After a truly memorable time teaching my Master Class in the beautiful Vancouver, it’s back to work on Act 2 of our new musical “SING!”  The presentation was beyond any expectations I may have had with the best of casts: Brett Rybeck Latoya London, Jennifer Leigh Warren. Lindsey Ray, Steven Goode, Sabrina Sloan, Kyle Cooper Elizabeth Brackenbury and Kristoffer McKneeley.  Brilliant work by our Musical Director Todd Schroeder and the amazing magic RJ Durrell works with his choreography. Maria CIna, Stephen Bray and Jonathan Kruger were perfect as the “judges” .  Nothing would have been possible without the best of producers, Steve Binder  whose concept started it all and the perfect partner, the always inspiring  and brilliantly talented  Franne Golde.  Onward!

Of course working on song #2 with  Jessica Lange on American Horror Story – Asylum was the most memorable episodic fun I’ve ver had. It will be aired on Episode 10- Dont miss it!  Jessica is brilliant as always and rocked the house in her inimitable sexy way.

And I’m very much looking forward to a new workshop with World Dance Movement in March in Zurich Switzerland.

More news to come soon… and Wishing you all a Happy Holiday!!
