MUSTHEAT 3005 - Music Theatre Production 3

Major Production-Musical: This project involves the creation of a fully staged musical from contemporary or classic repertoire. Students will audition and be cast to fill all roles as well as fulfilling a role in one backstage activity. Students will be required to apply skills learnt in other courses to the rehearsal and performance of a complete work, and to integrate skills of singing, dancing and acting to support the story, text and interpretation. A key focus will be to learn more about, and investigate through practice, the relationship between the actor and the director. Subject areas could include language structure, text and score analysis, performance history and research, integrating analysis into stage delivery, applying stagecraft, taking direction, working with design, costume and props, singing, dance and understanding the technical rehearsal.
