About this course
On this course, students are provided with the opportunity to develop technical, artistic, creative, theoretical and critical understanding of musical theatre performance. Students will focus on three main areas of study within the discipline of musical theatre: singing, acting and dance, with singing and vocal technique underpinning acting and dance. This course aims to produce imaginative, intelligent and employable practitioners able to demonstrate creativity through their discipline and beyond. The modules provide an extensive curriculum with strong vocational elements and a contemporary outlook, incorporating technological skills for both practical and artistic purposes.
The course aims to:
- Foster the development of intelligent performers by providing opportunities for the acquisition, application and improvement of technical, artistic and creative skills.
- Encourage the development of knowledgeable performers with an awareness of the historic, cultural and social context of the profession they are entering by engagement with academic theoretical studies.
- Promote the development of reflective performers by providing opportunities for students to engage with analysis, evaluative practices and critical thinking.
- Produce responsible performers and promote career longevity by instilling the principles of health, fitness and safe practice as a foundation for maximising physical efficiency.
- Produce independent performers by facilitating increasing learner autonomy throughout the course.
- Produce professional performers by providing extensive experience of public performance.
