INTRODUCTION

The Bachelor of Arts (Music Theatre) course aims to produce graduates who are fully equipped to enter the theatre profession as performers in both musical and non musical areas, as well as film and television.


The course focuses on the development of knowledge and skills in the performing arts with particular emphasis on specialist areas pertinent to musical theatre.  The program provides technical training in singing, music skills, specific dance forms, improvisation and acting, including acting for the camera.  It also provides the opportunity for student performers to acquire specialist skills such as the creation and production of self-devised material, arts management, and musical skills such as accompanying.


By studying within the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts, students will also have opportunities for practical experience in performances in a range of the performing arts.  The practical experiences gained will be of importance in preparing graduates to work professionally in a wide range of theatre activity.
