Course Summary

In addition to the core Musical Theatre disciplines of acting, singing, dancing, performance and critical thinking, the degree also offers a choice of two pathways (Commercial Dance or Theatre Making) that will allow you, in your first year to tailor your training to your personal and professional aspirations. The degree is located in the centre of Blackpool and is surrounded a host of stunning entertainment venues steeped in history and heritage. Every year, we have the privilege of working alongside a number of local and regional professional theatre organisations that regularly feed into the programme. As part of your training you will regularly perform in our fantastic purpose built studio venue the University Centre Theatre with a variety of cabaret evenings, dance nights, presentations of new work and musical theatre productions in the culmination of multiple modules in your second and third year. In your final year, your professional year, you will perform in two professional productions, one of which will be housed in our own University Theatre. The second performance is traditionally housed in a local external venue. In addition to the main programme, the degree offers regular industry opportunities that range from guest talks, practical workshops, industry projects and full scale productions. At Blackpool School of Arts, you will have access to outstanding facilities including recording studios, professional dance studios and a fully working theatre. Our industry specialist tutors will support you to hone the skills needed to launch or develop your career.
