Overview

This course encourages an intellectual and practice-based interrogation of musical theatre, as well as giving the actor/singer a respect for the various demands of written text and musical score. 
Why choose this course?
This course is intended for those students who have a practical expertise in performance, and wish to develop these skills in actor-singer training further to enable entry to the professional world of performance. The individual exploration of 'sense over sound' is a notable and distinctive feature of this course. 
The important work of Feldenkrais supports both the physical and vocal (sung and spoken) development of our actor-singers. In addition to the acquisition of a strong performance discipline, the course seeks to develop each student as an inspired self-thinking practitioner with the ability to devise and perform original musical theatre works - much of this pioneering work will be completed in conjunction with Mercury Musicals.

All the department's teaching staff are actively involved with their own professional disciplines. You can find out more about this in the staff biographies, but our teaching staff's research involvement with the industry includes:

• directing new work in association with composers and writers, and Mercury Musicals, and other associated activities funded by Arts Council and other initiatives
• choreography
• actor movement
• the methods of study within a performance career
• textual studies
• the relationship between the sung and spoken voice
• current publications in progress associated with the art of the actor-singer, processes within musical theatre and such practitioners as Feldenkrais and Stanislavsky in the work undertaken by the students on this course.
