Module Content
Outline Syllabus:In the Musical Theatre Ensemble 2 students will be encouraged to work creatively and collaboratively within a group, expressing their individual ideas and opinions when working with material. Through these practical classes, students will further develop the skills to create and sustain characterisation through song and dance with particular attention to the use of physicality and expression within a role.
Students will be expected to always display an elevated level of professional etiquette as they expand their understanding and acuity of Musical Theatre techniques. Each piece of repertoire will be directed by different professional practitioners from inside the faculty. This will develop the student’s ability to interpret and pick up direction from multiple creatives. Students will be expected to use personal time for preparation and reflective practice.

Assessment is via one staged performance.
