Grand Artistry Inspires, Inc. partners with schools to deliver master classes that enhance students’ performance skills through hands-on activities and technique exercises. These classes are led by professional performing artists, many of whom have worked on major Broadway productions, performed alongside celebrities, and/or performed at prestigious theaters. The master classes give students a unique opportunity to learn from a variety of professional artists—experiences they might not otherwise encounter.



Each session includes skills-building exercises, where students learn a performance routine and receive constructive feedback from the guest artist. This personalized evaluation allows students to integrate insights in real time alongside their peers. In addition to performance instruction, students participate in a sit-down talk session focused on the business side of the performing arts. Topics may include auditioning, networking, personal branding, professional headshots, and practical tips for navigating the industry. Guest artists may also share guidance on finding authenticity as an artist, overcoming creative roadblocks, and maximizing productivity, giving students a comprehensive perspective on both the craft and career of performance.
Grand Artistry Inspires believes that it is important to expose students to a variety of working professionals from whom they can receive perspective, inspiration, mentorship, and guidance. Our master classes are a safe space for teens to learn within their community of peers and familiar school setting, while experiencing new instruction from artists of various backgrounds, styles, and locations.
