这门课程从上学期的新音乐剧院实验室的最后几个月中发展出来，其过渡到远程学习，并被设计为与远程学习一样工作。The course teaches a unique approach to musical theatre making, forged during the making of the Obie and Tony award-winning musical,Passing Strange。The method treats the song, not the story, as the seed for all that follows in a show. Students are taught to conjure stories that will emerge out of their songs rather than tacking songs onto a preexisting story. The significance of personal biography as source material vs. invented fictions is also emphasized, along with the incorporation of solo performance and the use of video. Emphasis on in-the-moment creating via a demystification of the songwriting process keeps students inspired and motivated, with more time spent creating than staring at a screen. Students are regularly given songwriting prompts and invited to take time away from the screen to compose anything from one verse to a full-blown song, along with solo-performance fragments or video. Students will work toward building, at semester’s end, a final show from all of the songs that they’ve written. Students will learn techniques that transform the “magic” of songwriting into a reflexive act of communication available to anyone, with or without songwriting experience. The fundamentals of songwriting are taught, along with an introduction to various music software apps, video editing, and DIY methods of turning bedrooms and basements into performance spaces.

This lab is open to any artists committed to exploring a variety of music-driven, song-centric, spirit-derived approaches to music-theatre creation.音乐作为戏剧实验室邀请学生对先知，信仰治疗者和野性政客的工作进行调查，以及蓝调，福音和老式的摇滚艺术家。Commitment to risk-as-truth, with an eye toward creating pieces and performances that conjure transcendence, is a founding principle of the Lab.学生将在越来越多的团队中工作，以创建和执行短作品；例如，场景，讲道，歌曲或情况，包括套装和服装设计，编舞和视频。该实验室还将对摇滚音乐和表演音乐进行持续的“比较和对比”调查，并着重于我们必须从这些差异中有效地了解和唱歌的内容。
