Overview

The unit provides students with a sustained opportunity to work on the creation and performance of a musical theatre piece, from exploratory workshops to full public production. Students work with industry professionals and staff members to devise and perform an original piece of musical theatre. It will build on the theoretical and practical frameworks established in ATS2296/ATS3296 (Musical theatre 1: History and form) by applying those analytical and performance skills to the generation of a new work in the genre. The unit entails semester-long concurrent performance skills workshops in singing, dancing and technical aspects.
