Educational Aims of the Course
The programme intends to contribute to the education of musical theatre actors, adept in the interdisciplinary assimilation of acting, singing and dance, through effective, coherent and innovative training that equips graduates as artistic creatives who, in addition to traditional practical skills, develop an ability to utilise practitioner techniques and theoretical insights to critically analyse performance material whilst developing a unique independent methodology and business acumen to maximise the utilities of their skillset. Our programme aims to:
i. Facilitate graduates to obtain employment as versatile actors, singers and dancers across performance mediums and contexts
ii. Develop in students an independent and unique autonomy in technical interdisciplinary practical processes
iii. Utilise student engagement through employment initiatives within the performance industries, including self-employment and entrepreneurial frameworks
iv. Advance in students an appreciation and understanding of cultural, social, political and economic perspectives in musical theatre performance.
Learning Outcomes
Teaching, Learning and Assessment
The course is delivered across a 30-week academic year, at an average of 30+ hours per week. At its progressive levels of study, the course addresses and aligns with hierarchical frameworks, such as Bloom’s Taxonomy, to capture knowledge and comprehension, application and analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. This is implicit within the writing of level and module outcomes, as well as the constructive alignment (Biggs) of learning outcomes for delivery and assessment.
Formative feedback is continuous and ongoing. Summative assessment is structured to allow for developmental learning, and skills and knowledge advancement. Learning outcomes have been crafted within these frameworks to allow for the development of specialist subject-specific discipline skills, knowledge and ideas, intellectual and analytical skills, transferable and professional graduate skills.
