Course: Musical

Sing, dance, act — discover the joy and fun of Broadway musicals!

Discover the magic of Broadway! This course will provide you with the fundamental knowledge and understanding of what is required to participate in a musical theater production. Through a combination of dance, singing, and acting, you will develop the skills necessary to convey emotion and tell stories with your stage presence. Each element of musical theater interacts with the others. In other words, the music and singing enhance the dance to convey a message to the audience.

This course concludes with a musical theater performance. We will select three songs from different show genres.

Musicals—that magical mix of singing, dancing, and acting that lets your talents shine and catapults the fun factor into high gear. Our journey into the world of musicals will not only boost your confidence, but also unleash brand new skills in you. You will be accompanied by real professionals: a director/choreographer from the Big Apple and a musical director/musician from the heart of Berlin. Together, we will uncover the secrets of musicals from the perspective of actors, singers, and dancers.

In order to form a first-class troupe, we focus on individual physical and vocal training, reliable regular attendance, teamwork, and cohesion.

Only students from our partner universities can register for the course. By participating in this course, you agree to our terms and conditions.
