Meet our Choreographer, Mr. Simon Mazziotti!
1. What is it about dance/choreography/musicals that you love? Having dance be such a big part of my life I think it is amazing to find new ways to bring that creative element to a bigger picture such as a musical. Being able to tell a story with my love for dance and theatre through a production like a musical is one of the most exciting things a performer can do! 2. What is your dance/musical education and background? From the age of 8 I have been a competitive dancer at studios in the Peterborough area, I am currently training at Premiere Studio of Dance where I will graduate from this year and move onto post secondary. Over the past few years I have had the privilege to work at Market Hall Performing Arts Centre as a Youth Arts Counsellor for their summer theatrical and dance intensive camps where I got to choreograph and work with the young talent in Peterborough. This has really inspired me to work with other musical productions such as the ones as TAS! 3. What's your favourite musical? I will never be able to pick just one! However some of my all time favourites are Chicago, Hairspray, Rent, Kinky Boots, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, and Bare. 4. What is your favourite production you've been involved in and why? There are way too many to choose from but I think being apart of any of the TAS and other local shows are my favourite, being able to showcase what you have been creating for your peers and the public has brought a new sense of pride and love for performing for me personally. Also seeing what others have been working on is so amazing, seeing your classmates and friends finished work is such a cool experience! 5. What are you looking forward to most this year? What I'm looking forward to most this year is seeing the progress of all of the students and watching them grow as performers and cast members. I think that the rehearsal process is just as exciting as the show itself, I cannot wait to start putting together yet another amazing show that everyone involved can be proud of and showcase the awesome talent that the TAS students have to offer!
