Description	Musical Theatre 1 focuses on developing skills within the three main disciplines of musical theatre: singing, acting and voice. The first year of study will equip students with the necessary technical skills in these core disciples. Acting, Singing and Voice classes will explore the concepts of work on the self, the imagination, the senses and the development of the fundamental skills required to develop an expressive, versatile and technically sound vocal and physical instrument. Learning will take place during face-to-face workshops and practical classes where students will be encouraged to explore their physical and emotional boundaries.
Learning Outcomes	By the end of the module students should be able to: Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the fundamental aspects of voice production through speech and song; Apply the stylistic and technical demands of musical theatre to own performance; Recognise and apply the ability to present a truthful and believable characterisation in acting; Demonstrate an understanding of the concepts of naturalism in acting.
