This subject sets the foundation of technical skills in the three major disciplines underpinning a career in music theatre; acting, singing and dancing. It will include introductory classes in acting, text, movement, spoken voice, dance techniques, body conditioning, solo singing and ensemble singing.

Through skills-based performances and reflection, students will develop the foundational knowledge of acting, singing, and dancing.
