CHOREOGRAPHER, DIRECTOR
But the brightest star in the show may be choreographer Trent Soyster, who channels the late Jerome Robbins with an endless bag of fleet-footed tricks. Replete with backflips and handstands, his choreography is balletic, acrobatic and often gravity-defying. - Boca Magazine |
Whether it be in full-length professional musicals, with children, college students or aspiring young artists, I try to place an emphasis on each individual performer's needs throughout our process working together. My choreographic style and quality of movement lends itself particularly well to the staging of both large and small-scale musical theater productions, leading with clarity, confidence and courage.
During my time studying Directing and Choreography in my undergraduate training at Pace University, I largely focused on movement-based devised work - creating new pieces from the ground up - with the techniques of Jacques Lecoq. These techniques and tools have proven to be extremely valuable to me as a creative and have come in handy for all of my work around the globe. Notable credits include creating work for RWS Global, Slow Burn Theatre Co., John W. Engeman Theater, New London Barn Playhouse, Timber Lake Playhouse, Midland Center for the Arts, Interlakes Theatre, Dixon Place, Young Artists of America, Share Inc., the Emmy Award-winning children's theater tour TIGER and more! I'm a proud associate member of SDC - the Stage Directors and Choreographers' Society! Collaboration with other creatives include Associate Director and/or Choreographer to Richard J. Hinds, Rusty Mowery, and Sam Pinkleton and Assistant Director and/or Choreographer to Denis Jones, Chaz Wolcott, and Shea Sullivan. |
