Education Guides — README
The educational practices and frameworks behind how Encore teaches young artists — the directing, choreography, and music-direction philosophies, plus rehearsal culture, table work, audition prep, and ensemble games/activities.
What lives here
Role Companion Guides — Encore-specific philosophy and practice for roles whose work has substantial youth-development and educational dimensions. Each pairs with a formal role doc under 01_Production/Roles/Creative Team/.
- Director’s Guide — Heart Over Art, Ten Commandments in practice, Mike and Sully, the canonical Transitions section, working with young artists
- Choreographer’s Guide — working with young dancers, the dance call as audition, layered choreography, safe technique
- Music Supervisor’s Guide — healthy vocal technique for youth, material selection, live orchestras at Encore, the pre-show warm-up
Cross-Cutting Education Guides
