SHOW - Key Persons
Don't let that boyish exterior fool you! Brandon Wood is a triple threat performer who excels in teaching our company members how to soar (both literally and figuratively). His solid foundation in voice, dance, acting and gymnastics resulted in hundreds of hours onstage in starring and supporting roles, as well as nominations for several awards for performance and choreography. He was a faculty member with The Young Canadians of the Calgary Stampede, a choreographer for the 2014 World Champion Showband Dancers and an inaugural member of O2 The Dance Company. Brandon has travelled internationally as a performer as well as an examiner and adjudicator for dance and talent competitions.
Lauren, vocal technician extraordinaire, has made a name for herself as both a performer and the talented instructor behind her company, Singsana. Lauren completed her Bachelor of Secondary Music Education program at the University of Calgary, and has taught private voice lessons since 2001. Her students have been accepted into highly competitive post-secondary vocal programs across Canada, and won honours at events including the Calgary Performing Arts Festival and the Stampede Youth Talent Search. Lauren served on the faculty of The Young Canadians of the Calgary Stampede from 2012 to 2016, and most recently was invited to participate in Disney's 2017 Educator's Summit: Inspiring Brilliance.
In his career as songwriter, vocal performance coach and musician, our music maestro Scott has toured the world. He shared the bill with artists including Boyz II Men, David Foster, Jann Arden, Brett Kissel, and Common (to name a few), and was a vocal coach for Global TV's Canada Sings. Scott has recorded with some of the world's best producers including sessions at Prince's Paisley Park Studios, and Giorgio Morodor's Beverly Hills studios. He is the founding member of R&B vocal group, The EarthTONES (five Top 20 hits, two Juno nominations), and lead singer for the soul/funk group Souls in Rhythm. Locally, Scott co-ran the performing arts school Theatre Works, chaired the Stampede Youth Talent Search, and served as senior vocal director and artistic director for The Young Canadians of the Calgary Stampede.
