The world of musical theatre is diverse and colourful – with new musical works being brought alive everywhere by performers, directors, choreographers, designers and musicians.
As an art form, it attracts a sophisticated viewership across the globe. While technical advances have transformed stage productions into rich visual spectacles, highly trained and gifted performers remain integral to the success and growth of the genre.
This programme provides world-class education for gifted young performers. Internationally unique as an Honours degree – the first of its kind in Asia – it is designed to prepare students for professional careers in musicals, plays, cabaret, film, and television. Graduates are employed in the region, as well as the United Kingdom, Europe, USA and Australia.
Contemporary musical theatre demands that all performers can sing, dance, and act with equal skill – a ‘triple threat’. This programme trains such future professionals in these disciplines and gives them a rich historical and cultural context from which to interpret and create.
In addition to classes and workshops, students are continually involved in realising a variety of partially and fully staged theatre productions, in a range of performance venues. These are led by local and international professional directors, music directors and choreographers.
