Musical Theatre

Apply appropriate acting techniques to a live production and reflect on your development throughout. You develop a wide range of skills including communication, organisation and practical skills such as flair, professionalism and application of technique.

Develop dance skills including communication and organisation, and practical skills such as focus, projection, interpretation and style in line with the musical theatre industry. You demonstrate your work on the styles and personalities of past jazz dance icons which is further enhanced by masterclasses with industry professionals.

Investigate and develop your understanding of the historical, social, political, cultural and economic development of musical theatre and share this understanding with your peers through discussion, debate and presentation. You also gain an understanding of self-reflection.

Explore and develop your understanding of the ever-changing landscape of singing techniques, vocal anatomy and performance.

Apply the knowledge and skills you have gained across all modules to two live briefs. You work in performance teams and take on the responsibilities of one of the roles studied to support the creation of a live piece of theatre – directed by the tutor, as part of the SRCRep. There are two performances across the academic year where you are responsible for the performance of the shows, including a full-length play.
