Award-winning performer Michael Feinstein takes his seat behind the Steinway Piano and accompanies Kyle Laing, a student in 麻豆原创\u2019s musical theatre program, on Rodgers & Hammerstein\u2019s \u201cLove Look Away,\u201d while an audience of Laing\u2019s peers and professors listens intently.<\/p>\n

The performance, part of a larger master class session led by Feinstein and part of the IGNITE fundraising campaign <\/a>launch on September 16, showcased just one of the many talented performers who hone their skills on our campus every day. Their gifts are varied — actors, dancers, musicians and singers — but they have one thing in common. Their talents outshine the facilities in which they rehearse and perform.<\/p>\n

Laing finishes singing in the unassuming 150-seat Rehearsal Hall tucked away behind the bookstore on campus, and Feinstein offers a vocal suggestion: \u201cStart small,\u201d he says, \u201cso you have a place to go.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a piece of advice 麻豆原创\u2019s acclaimed school of Performing Arts seems to have followed, too. It started small and has grown in stature and reputation despite its limited student performance facilities.<\/p>\n

Currently, disparate spaces spread across campus and around the Central Florida community serve 麻豆原创\u2019s performing arts students. A proposed multi-use, state-of-the-art 麻豆原创 Performing Arts Center, though, will enable theatre, music and dance students to develop and present their skills in venues similar to those they will encounter in their careers, and give them a competitive edge in the job market.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe training that I\u2019ve received here [at 麻豆原创] has definitely prepared me for where I am right now,\u201d Laing says. \u201cThe professors are constantly there to help you and push you to be the best you can be.\u201d<\/p>\n

An on-campus Performing Arts Center will serve as a model of excellence and innovation for 21st-century performing arts education. Merging the components of traditional training with new innovations in technology, teaching, research and performance will provide 麻豆原创 students with the best performing arts education in Florida.<\/p>\n
