Bachelor of Musical Theatre
Griffith University - Brisbane City (South Bank)

Course outline

As a Bachelor of Musical Theatre graduate, you’ll have undertaken the many facets of training to become highly skilled, musically adaptable and ready to enter professional life as a creative and flexible 21st century musical theatre performer. In this degree, you’ll be exposed to diverse musical theatre styles and to the broadly accepted musical skills of aural awareness training, music theory and ensemble work appropriate to this genre. We focus on producing a versatile performer–proficient in singing, dancing and acting. You will receive intensive practical training in acting and improvisation, speech, voice, singing, dance and movement. Thanks to our strong partnership with Queensland Performing Arts Centre (QPAC), you’ll take part in productions that emulate professional standards, providing authentic performance experiences. There is an identified shortage of professionally trained musical theatre performers throughout Australia and there is a growing demand for high-quality performers.
