The Inclusive Musical Theatre Rehearsal and Performance Process: Documenting the Experiences of Students with Various Learning Needs in an Extended Rehearsal and Performance Process at a Performing Arts High School
Cacciola-Price, Jamie
ProQuest LLC, Ed.D. Dissertation, New York University
This study examines the experiences of recently graduated students with and without disabilities in a seven-month inclusive rehearsal and performance process of a musical theatre production in an urban performing arts high school. This qualitative, participatory/practitioner action research (PAR) based investigation provides insight into the field of inclusive musical theatre rehearsal and performance curriculum through: 1.) alumni-participants' responses and reflections on the teacher-director-researcher designed inclusive musical theatre curriculum; 2.) their perceived effectiveness of inclusive rehearsal and performance process tools, assessments, and process modifications; 3.) their discoveries and challenges in the creative and collaborative process; and 4.) the impacts of the production and the process on them overall. Two alumni-participant groups (an interview group and a survey group), with and without disability classification, identified process modifications that were effective for them based on their own self-identified learning challenges and preferences, identifying extended rehearsal time, use of a number line, musical theatre specific smartphone apps, actors' process journals, typed director's notes, and several others as being effective for their learning needs. A 29-week inclusive musical theatre curriculum design, meeting the New York State Standards in the Arts for Theatre, is provided with assessments, tools, rubrics, and teacher-director-researcher reflection and rationale.
