MUSICAL THEATRE - FOUNDATION DEGREE
Performing Arts : Higher Education
Building on the success of our HND in Musical Theatre, we now offer a new Foundation Degree in Musical Theatre. The course has been created to provide a sound practical performance training which integrates strong academic and theoretical approaches to work as the course progresses.
In the first year you will study singing, dancing and acting to a high standard in preparation for the entry into the Performing Arts industry. The first year also will include an introduction to critical theory and dramatic analysis. All years participate in fully staged productions as well as smaller scale workshop and staged assessments.
In the second year you will form into a company and over three semesters cover specific approaches to musical theatre. These projects will cover the Classic Broadway musical, International Music Theatre and The Modern Musical. All three projects culminate in either a workshop, a performance or a final major project and fully integrate acting, singing, dance and application of theory in performance.
Content
All of your modules will include written assignments. However, a great proportion of the work you will undertake will be practical.
Modules may include:-
• Acting & Voice Studies
• Dance & Movement Studies
• Introduction To Critical Theory
• Outreach Theatre
• The Modern Musical
• Music Theatre (International)
• Dance Theatre
• Professional Practice
• The Broadway Musical
