Subject Overview
Students explore the broad history, styles, language and elements of musical theatre, developing an appreciation of the on-stage and off-stage roles associated with the genre. Students focus on improving their practical skills in vocal production, movement, dance and acting techniques, as appropriate to their role, and their understanding of production techniques such as costume, sound/lighting and stage design, reflecting on their progress.
