Summary
On the MA Musical Theatre at Central, we see performers as creators, and regularly produce new works with professional composers, writers, directors and choreographers.
-
Acting, singing and movement is at the core, but the course also provides opportunities to compose, choreograph, write for the stage and work as an actor-musician;
-
Experience many genres and styles from musicals to music theatre, devised theatre and opera in public productions, emphasising new writing;
-
Alumni successes internationally include West End shows, opera, television, film, live action animation, video-games, theatre, musicals, stand-up comedy, writing, composing and directing.
A core team of specialist lecturers and professional artists deliver classes and workshops, joined later by external, established specialist professionals. Our work is multidisciplinary: flexibility and sustainability are at its centre, and collaborative teamwork is the model. Research is embedded, reflecting the specific methodologies required by performers at a professional level.
The course is intense, experiential and conservatoire-based across four extended terms, with high expectations from students. The well-being of the students is fundamental and regular attention to physical, mental and intellectual well-being is uniquely supported.
MA
| Level | RQF Level 7 |
|---|---|
| Entry requirements | Music Theatre, MA students come from many and diverse backgrounds and disciplines. Combined skills far exceed the traditional areas of acting, singing and movement which, however, remain fundamental. Diversity is regarded as a core ability, not only to enter the course, but also to survive the marketplace afterwards. The course encourages no division between creators and performers, establishing collaboration as the central ethic of performance. You should normally have an undergraduate degree in a relevant field, (drama, theatre or performance studies), though applications from students of other disciplines will be considered, as will candidates who do not have a degree but do possess significant prior experience. Experience as a performer is essential. Entry is by audition; we look for potential and sustainable employability after the course. |
