BA (Hons) Musical Theatre Practice
As a student on the innovative BA (Hons) Musical Theatre Practice at Liverpool John Moores University you will have extensive opportunities to develop your creative and performance skills using our dedicated drama centre and newly refurbished drama studio, and also through our links with leading theatre companies and drama organisations in Liverpool and beyond. You will have opportunities to explore a range of skills and then develop a focus on a personal specialism for your final year of study in preparation for either employment or further study upon graduation. Although this is a new course it is housed in Liverpool Screen School’s Drama department and the record of its BA (Hons) Drama provision provided here affirms the values and ethos which underpin this exciting new course.
?For millennia, groups of people from all corners of the earth and from all cultures have come together to watch others act out stories. Performing takes us to places through characters so far from ourselves that it helps us learn about what makes us tick.
Above all, the study of all theatre and its practices prepares us to be better citizens. Musical theatre, in particular, has the capacity to transport audiences into imaginary worlds of deep feeling and social significance. The course views the term ‘musical theatre’ as broadly as possible, and aims to question what we mean by the term, recognising its unique expressive characteristics and potential, just as much as it provides opportunities to develop skills in creating and performing.
This course is based on the idea that, as a community of passionate artists, we are interested in telling stories through musical theatre and are on a journey to find out how we can get better at it.
Moreover we want to not only acknowledge the traditions and discoveries of the past but also seek to make new work that is relevant for our futures.
The course believes that the best practice is also informed by the best thinking and so throughout we integrate aspects of both theory and practice in all aspects of your learning. It also believes that you are the best person to discover how best to learn for yourself and how to apply that in planning for your future, so all our work has one eye on what you might do when you graduate.
