DG Conservatory - Behind the Music-al presents 'MuTube' - OCT. 8
DG Conservatory: Behind the Music-al presents MuTube – The role of New Media in Contemporary Musical TheaterFor our first DG Conservatory of the fall, the Dramatists Guild is thrilled to team up with the writers who created Behind the Music-al, Kyle Ewalt and Michael Ian Walker. Originally presented at 92YTribeca, Behind the Music-al is an exciting behind-the-scenes look at the next generation of musical theater composers. Special guests discuss how songwriting teams collaborate, showcase exclusive songs performed by some of Broadway's hottest young stars and dish about the back-story on your favorite musical numbers. Using a particular theme for each presentation, Behind the Music-al lets you in on the process of putting together tomorrow's next big hit. The theme for the October 8session is MuTube - the Role of New Media in Contemporary Musical Theater.
How have video and music sharing sites like YouTube and SoundCloud changed the landscape of developing new musicals? How are contemporary writers using new media to their advantage? Is social networking a required piece of developing a new show? Can it replace traditional avenues for getting a show to production? Has the YouTube-ification of musical theater hurt the development process? Join Dramatists Guild Council member Michael Korie (Grey Gardens, Far From Heaven) as he moderates a concert and conversation exploring how emerging composers Joey Contreras, Zack Zadek, and Ewalt & Walker see the role of the Internet as a positive/negative influence on their work.
