The classes allow children to explore their talents in drama, singing and dance within the context of music theatre, using the professional theatre facilities at the Central Queensland Conservatorium of Music (CQCM) on the Mackay Campus of CQUniversity.
Children will also have the opportunity to interact with the visiting professional theatre directors who work with the full-time tertiary students, adding an exciting dimension to the Con Academy classes.
Previous internationally acclaimed music theatre professionals who have worked with students at CQCM Mackay have included Dale Pengelly (Brisbane), Thern Reynolds (Melbourne), John Wregg (Sydney), Chris Horsey (Sydney), Drew Anthony (Sydney), Peter Cousens (Sydney) and Chloe Dallimore (Sydney).
The classes are led by Kris Brennan, who has tertiary training in music theatre and a passion for all things theatrical. Mr Brennan is enthusiastic about working with the Con Academy and helping children to nurture their talents in this area.
