Musical Theatre classes are a favourite among many of our students. ‘MUSICAL THEATRE TROUPE’ focuses on expert tuition in training the ‘triple threat’ performer; voice/acting/dance while developing confidence.

 

It is different to the DRAMA CLUB (Drama/Acting class) because it offers a more comprehensive approach to the 3 important skills needed for Musical Theatre 

SINGING/VOICE 

DIALOGUE/CHARACTER 

DANCE/MOVEMENT

Chris' Musical Theatre classes focus on the strengths of the individual and explore tips and tricks to find a balanced performance.
