Overview

This course is taught through block learning. Find out more. Find out more. Covering all aspects of musical theatre skills and opportunities for creating new music theatre, this practice-based course is ideal if you are looking ahead to a career as an on-stage performer or back-stage creative. Our musical theatre degree includes weekly drama school-style actor training, focussing on all the classic musical theatre skills including acting, singing, dance, ensemble singing and yoga. These developing skills are realised in a full-scale production in each year of the course. In addition to performing in a musical, you will also take on a production role that could include stage management, assistant directing, music directing, dance-captaining, hair and makeup design, costume design or front of house. Performing and having a production role ensures you take full ownership of your musical theatre production, which helps you gain valuable experience across a range of creative roles. You will also be able to explore your own creativity by co-creating original pieces of music theatre. Through engagement with a variety of contemporary musical and performance techniques, you will expand your creative frames of reference to develop and understand new ways of combining music and theatre. There are also opportunities to work with visiting creatives and performers, including working with a professional director in your third-year production. Inclusivity and community, as well as safe and supportive spaces, lie at the heart of the music theatre course. Together staff and students build and nurture an environment that is thriving with the highest level of training, to develop performers who are individual, unique, professional, and great company members. Personal support and guidance are a key aspect of our delivery to students.
