Our beloved Musical Theatre course is one of the most in-demand in Australia. Celebrating 10 years in 2023, it has expanded to offer two years of training with an equal focus on dancing, singing and acting.
Throughout the course, students undergo a schedule of classes including Jazz Technique, Ballet, Contemporary, Voice Work, Ensemble Singing, Audition Repertoire, Commercial Jazz, TheatreJazz, Tap, Acting, Improvisation and Workshops/Mock Auditions with Industry Professionals. The timetable offers the unique ability to cater to both the experienced dancer and those needing a more foundational approach. This streaming is also woven into singing and music theory lessons, offering a truly personalised experience. Students also have access to private singing lessons, with vocal coaches hand-picked by our esteemed Head of Vocal Studies, Tony McGill. We train with triple-threats in mind, however we are just as focussed on developing the interested and interesting storyteller. From Classical Ballet to Commercial Jazz, Stanislavsky to Sondheim, our students are encouraged to question the what, where, why, who and how?
Students embrace a variety of artistic opportunities and get a taste of both solo and ensemble performance, working towards more challenging material and featured roles in their second year. This is complemented with industry relevant theory and research work that sparks curiosity, develops historical knowledge and creates future trailblazers.
Sydney is consistently proving itself to be the artistic hub of both Independent and Commercial Theatre, making it the perfect city to immerse yourself in as a budding performer – and our course the ultimate choice for the next generation.
