Drama Foundation Musical Theatre
Cambridge School of Visual and Performing ArtsAbout this course
Success in the competitive world of Musical Theatre requires focus and determination, as well as refined work across several disciplines. The Foundation programme at CSVPA offers students the wonderful opportunity to specialise before starting university; to begin the process of undergraduate skill development while preparing their drama school and university auditions.
The Musical Theatre program at CSVPA provides students the opportunity to grow and thrive within a genre which itself was crafted and shaped in the hands of some of the most creative minds and gifted performers the stage has ever known. Musical Theatre is the opportunity to find a connection between words and music and movement; to discover all the ways a story can be told and combine them into one performance. The process of discovery for a Musical Theatre performer is that of knowing that the performance is one idea expressed through different medium. The song, voice, body, mind all contributing to the communication of one character within one context. The opportunity to transport an audience into a different world for the brief time a story is told.
At CSVPA we offer our Musical Theatre students classes in Dance, Singing, and Acting, all the while encouraging them to understand that dramatic context within any monologue, song, or dance will be the most important element. Technique within all three disciplines is addressed across group classes and one-to-one tutorials. It is a challenging program that expects students to demand the absolute best of themselves.
At the end of the year upon successful completion, you will be awarded the UAL Level 4 Professional Diploma in Performance.
There are no UK government grants or funding for this course. Students will need to be privately financed.
