Check out these articles interviewing Lory Stewart about Adaptive Musical Theatre!
COMING SOON!
Our first *15 week Adaptive Musical Theatre Curriculum will walk you though each AMT Unit step-by-step for each class! One video takes you through check-ins, physical warm-ups, discussion questions and analysis of the plot/story, characters and technical aspects of the musical studied that week, musical numbers with easy and fun choreography for students to follow, acting exercises, critiques and exit tickets. It's all there for you in one video!
This curriculum, as well as our lesson plans and resources, has been tested for 4 years of class (including virtual) and 18 adapted musicals. Perfect for any actors ages 5-95 with Special Needs. You will have access to assistance and/or PD with Lory "Stewy" Stewart when needed during weekly online consultations.
*For schools, 15 weeks will cover the first semester. Our second semester 15 weeks will follow soon after!
Lory "Stewy" Stewart has a BFA from UT Austin and been directing theatre for over 30 years and writing & directing musicals with adults who have Special Needs for almost 20 years. In 2019 she created an Adaptive Musical Theatre Program with Supportive Peers (similar to Partners in PE) at Hays High School in Buda, Texas for ALL students with Special Needs, including nonverbal and nonambulatory students, who are many times left out of Musical Theatre performances.
