Leading London drama school Associated Studios will launch a new Masters Degree course in musical theatre this autumn.
Validated by the University of Wolverhampton, the vocational MA offers one year of intensive, full-time practical training in singing, dance and acting and the creative skills required to become a successful musical theatre performer.
Announcing the new course, Associated Studios founding principal and international vocal coach Leontine Haas said: “We are so proud to be able to offer high-level training, taught by industry professionals, at masters level from October 2020. We are very much looking forward to receiving applications from talented performers.
“Performers with at least five years industry experience who have attained an advanced level of skills can also be considered for this MA, even if they do not hold a prior degree. I feel very strongly that performers deserve to be rewarded for their incredibly hard work and commitment to their talent and artistry, by achieving a recognised qualification, and one that might stand them in good stead for the future.”
On behalf of the University of Wolverhampton, Dr Sarah Browne, head of the School of Performing Arts, added: “Associated Studios is highly respected in the musical theatre industry. They have a well-established reputation for delivering practical training of the highest quality which ensures their graduates are fully prepared for a career in musical theatre.
“We are absolutely delighted that we can work in partnership with the team at Associated Studios to deliver training to postgraduate students and look forward to seeing future cohorts perform in the West End and beyond.”
Commenting on the new course, Associated Studios’ patron, Tim Rice said: “Associated Studios will prepare you for a competitive but thrilling business and inspire you as a performer. You will be working with brilliant practitioners who have an extraordinary wealth of knowledge.”
