The
Course
3 Year Musical
Theatre Course
The demand on the
performer is ever increasing as the performance industry grows. There
is a great need for Musical Theatre students who have been well trained
in dance, singing and acting. We aim to help you achieve this. The stage
is continually dominated by musicals.
The Academy offers
professional training from teachers who have and still are performing
professionally. The emphasis is put on all disciplines equally to make
you the all round performer.
The 3 Year Musical
Theatre course leads to the Trinity Guildhall College London Associate
performer qualification in Musical Theatre, Speech and Acting. The qualification
encourages candidates to be multi-skilled, thinking performers in Musical
Theatre showing professional potential: their standard of performance
will be broadly comparable in the UK to other qualifications
available at level 4 in the National Qualifications Framework or the first
year degree level study.
We are pleased to
also offer in addition to this full time training in dance, singing and
acting. Teacher training qualifications in all 3 disciplines included
in the course in the relevant exam bodies. In addition guest teachers
from working professionals in the industry will visit each Friday of every
week of term enabling the pupil to gain as much exposure in different
styles as possible. Students are exposed to a variety of visiting choreographers,
musical directors and casting directors, in preparation for the commercial
theatre, film and TV.
Expressions
Casting Agency will then promote the performer to their greatest capability
in order to gain employment in their chosen field
and the student will leave having attained their highest performance level.
Monitoring of your progress is continuous. Assessments are given each
term on dancing, singing, and acting ending in a performance at the end
of term. You will be assessed on all productions and given written and
verbal feedback immediately. This becomes part of the monitoring system,
which we have in place to ensure each student’s rapid progression
and improvement through the term. Yearly reports will be issued by all
subject tutors. Private lessons are available and encouraged in the evenings.
In the second and
third years, students can develop their preferred area more intensely
with specialist exams in the relevant disciplines, however the other disciplines
will still be integrated into the timetable. Throughout the training programme
technique classes are arranged so that students of the same ability may
study together even if in a different year group.
The 3 Year Musical
Theatre Course is full time and intensive. At the end of the three years
each graduate will have achieved a balanced and complete all round training,
and be ready to go out and perform professionally with confidence and
in a style all of their own.
Diploma
Every student will
leave Expressions with a Musical Theatre Diploma and an exceedingly high
level of performance in all three disciplines (dance, singing and acting
). Professional qualifications in Dance (I.D.T.A/R.A.D) Acting (L.A.M.D.A/
Trinity Guildhall) Singing (R.C.M./R.A.M) Victoria College, London are
available for the student to qualify professionally. The syllabus studied
