ICMT（formally AMTA） musical winter camp
ICMT--International College Of Musical Theater（formally The American Musical Theatre Academy）has already held three musical camps in Shanghai ，the university's principal Kenneth Avery-Clark will bring one of his powerful team to China，each of them have a wealth of knowledge about musical theatre and helped with the teaching supervision of this course to help it get off the ground with an impact! We believe that, just like Kenneth, the teachers employed at ICMT China will have a professional passion for musical theatre and will give the course the determination and enthusiasm that it requires in order to give the children the best theatre education.

 

We welcome all of the families who value their children’s self-confidence, mental health, social skills, personality and believe in a strong work ethic.

ICMT（formally AMTA）is paving the way to allow kids to train and participate in this fun and exciting industry. ICMT（formally AMTA） has already provided musical theatre workshops and camps across China and has a number of events lined up for the summer of 2019. These workshops have been hugely successful, and aside from musical theatre, they have provided kids the opportunity to have fun, develop core life skills and meet new friends. We are actively preparing ICMT ’s first studio in China.,and we want to encourage those who want to perform to reach their full potential and are excited to be developing new and innovative training programs for kids which will cover a range of activities including singing, acting, dancing, and performance. Our students are part of something special and join our ICMT family.

 

This winter, ICMT will gather Broadway and West End performers again, to stage the production of the theme of the musical is spit-fired, and carefully selected classic songs and chapters of many classic musicals"Matilda", "Beauty and the Beast", "Into the Woods" and "Annie", combined with dance, dialogue, and physical performance. Which is full of fun and passion. This will encourage your children to be more confident within themselves, to sing from the heart and to feel the magic of musicals burst out for all to see!
