The training is designed to give an artist all the varied disciplines required by twenty-first century theatre. Fusion of techniques is common place today and choreographers are crossing boundaries that were once unimaginable, examples: Mathew Bourne choreographing My Fair Lady and Raphael Bonachela choreographing the Kylie Minogue Tour.

 

A successful performer must be able to cross these boundaries, too. Testaments to the power of our training are the following examples:

 

Lisa O’Hare - Mary Poppins in Mary Poppins (West End)
Kimball Wong - Soloist, Austrailian Dance Theatre
Daniel Davidson - Scottish Ballet

 

All of these MPA graduates followed the identical course.

 

The strands of the training are particularly brought together in musical theatre. Singing, dancing and acting are the essential elements. Students are exposed to the best of the West End not only through their regular teachers but through workshops from the best performers in the profession today.

 

Musical Theatre Repertoire enables students to perform sections of well known musicals thus gaining valuable experience in the virtual reality of West End performing.

Modern Contemporary Dance and Jazz Repertoire give students the opportunity to use learned skills in an interpretive manner. It teaches observation and accuracy and allows dancers to explore their own creativity.

 

Pure singing and pure acting workshops are scheduled for equal measure.
