The Music Theatre Global Atelier elective offers students in their final year of the BFA (Music Theatre) an immersive international experience over a two week period during the summer term. Travelling to one of the world’s leading cities for music theatre performance, students will engage in a daily program of specialist studio-based workshops and have the opportunity to see a diverse range of the world’s best performance work. Working with international guest teachers, this subject will focus on the continuing high-level development of technically proficient, integrated and performance-ready skills in acting, singing and dance as students prepare for their final year of training and to begin auditioning professionally.
