How to Swing in Musical Theatre

How to Swing in Musical Theatre shines a light on the most universal techniques used by cast members who, in response to absence, cover multiple roles across an ensemble.

This is a guide that can be used not only to build a step-by-step understanding of what swinging is and how it can be approached, but also as a constant point of reference throughout a career in musical theatre. Providing a suite of practical, technical advice on everything from quick and easy notation to compiling one''s own personal swing ''bible'', everything that an aspiring or experienced musical theatre performer will need is clearly arranged and explained. The book also teaches The SAFE Strategy, which is recognised as the most functional swing method and introduces The SAFE Principles of Swinging: Safety, Awareness, Function and Evolution. The principles are an original construct, devised to ward off stress and invite positive experience through reasoned behaviours.
