Australian Musical Theatre Festival: Masterclass – Dr Jacqui Hall Cuny
22 May @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm AEST

Uncover the real mechanics behind stage presence with Jacqui, and learn how the qualities that create magnetic performances can be developed by anyone.
Australian Musical Theatre Festival is excited to welcome Jacqui Hall Cuny back to the festival, this time to teach a masterclass and promote her new book. “Find Your ‘It’ Factor: A guide to dynamic musical theatre performance”
Jacqui is an Australian musical theatre specialist, educator and author. Her work explores the craft and psychology of that elusive game changer — stage presence.
Her book examines why certain performers create powerful audience connections and how those skills can be developed. Drawing on her extensive experience in musical theatre performance and teaching, and the collected wisdom gleaned from many of Australia’s top actors and creatives, Jacqui brings a fresh, thoughtful, and insightful perspective to conversations about creativity, storytelling and the evolving language of live performance.
