Broadway Body Positivity Workout Class
Tuesdays at 5 PM September 16th- October 7th Oftentimes in theatre, we talk about casting actors that have the right “look” for a role…but what does that actually mean? Does Johanna in Sweeney Todd have to be a natural blonde? Is Tracy Turnblad the only role for a plus-size female in Hairspray? What if Tevye in Fiddler on the Roof were played by a petite actor? These questions are meant to start a dialogue about how and why the theatre industry has created a divide between actors and the roles they can be considered for when casting. The first part of each class will invite a discussion about how body image plays a role in the theatre industry. The second half of each class will be dedicated to celebrating the gift of movement through a Broadway themed workout! The goal of this class is to embrace our bodies and what they can do in an effort to promote body positivity in the theatre community. This class will be taught by HCT’s Education Director, Kelsey Kott.
