Musical Theatre Intensive: Summer School

Overview

During this two-week-long course, students will work with a singing tutor/musical director, core Lir teachers and leading musical theatre directors and choreographers, to develop acting, voice, movement, singing and dance skills.

Through group classes and rehearsals, participants will develop the skills necessary for performing in Musical Theatre productions of the highest standards. Participants will work on new duets or trios and ensemble numbers.

This course is suitable for participants who already have taken a musical theatre course or have experience performing in a musical theatre production (amateur or otherwise). As peer learning is a part of the process, we ask that participants come prepared to sing solo in front of the class. The ability to sight read is not required of participants.

This intensive immersion in musical theatre will help build confidence, develop new skills and expand existing knowledge of the genre. Participants will also be given guidance on audition techniques and the development of an audition repertoire.

At the end of the fortnight, the group will present a workshop performance of well-known musical theatre numbers for an audience of students and tutors. This course is for people aged 16 - adults.

Note: Our short courses are non-refundable and there is no cooling-off period.

Previous tutors include Muirne Bloom (dance), Duncan Brickenden (musical directing), Conor Hanratty (directing), Ruth Lehane (movement), Judith Lyons (voice), and Ross Scanlon (voice).
