MA Musical Theatre Company

Leeds Conservatoire’s Musical Theatre Company course combines rigorous conservatoire training with continued, collaborative, student-led development of new work, preparing students not only to gain employment in the musical theatre industry, but as artists creating their own work.

With weekly classes in a range of dance styles, voice, acting, and singing (including audition technique), students will form a company and use these skills to engage in continued and collaborative development of new work, guided by leading directors and practitioners working in the industry today.

Students will undertake professional training, taking weekly classes in each discipline of musical theatre in order to develop as fully-rounded performers who are able to hold their own in this highly-competitive industry. Collaboration is an integral part of the ethos at Leeds Conservatoire. Musical Theatre Company students will share core modules with students from the conservatoire’s other Theatre MAs, where they generate new work in a collaborative student-led environment. Students will be encouraged to work in new and interdisciplinary ways, where they can find and hone their individual creative voices as artists and practitioners. Throughout the year there will be several opportunities for their developing work to be performed in a range of contexts and environments.

This course offers an immediate introduction to the industry by working with leading professionals in the field, as well as taking advantage of the richly diverse theatrical community on our doorstep. Our campuses include a brand-new building at Playhouse Square, housing state-of-the-art specialist performance facilities. With a panoramic view over the city landscape, this £60m development contains bespoke facilities for our theatre courses, including state-of-the-art dance and drama studio spaces and music ensemble rooms.
