Students can follow one of two educational pathways that best match the area of the industry in which they are aspiring to have a successful career. On both pathways you'll undertake practical modules in singing, dance, acting, and voice training. From this technical base, you'll develop your creative processes by considering how to apply your techniques to an essential repertoire, to realise creative and musically intelligent interpretations of materials. The dancer/singer pathway has an emphasis on dance technique and history, developing theoretical and technical knowledge of a range of techniques within musical theatre alongside an intense signing regime. The actor/singer pathway training has an emphasis on a range of singing and voice techniques, and an intense acting programme which includes, but is not limited to breaking down text and scenes and creating characters.Performance is emphasised throughout, and you'll continue to enhance your technical and stage skills through a series of performances across a variety of genres. Our aim is that you'll graduate as a technically skilled professional, well-versed in collaboration and personal reflection. Collaborative projects require you to work at industry standard, and within professionally recognised time frames.
