Musical Theatre & Acting

Musical Theatre and Acting

Musical Theatre and Acting are undoubtedly some of the most popular forms of live entertainment, with millions of people all over the world sitting in theatres anticipating the first line or the opening note of the overture.

Here at NAPA, our combined Musical Theatre and Acting classes arm students with all the skills they need to perform in their very own full-scale production. Open to students across a wide range of ages and abilities, these classes provide essential, broad-based stage training.

We believe in giving our students as much performance experience as possible. This ensures they have regular, hands-on opportunities to continually hone and improve their skills.

 

Musical Theatre & Acting – Core

In Musical Theatre, students rehearse for a full production from their very first class. They build vocal technique through solo and ensemble numbers, gaining individual opportunities to shine alongside essential skills like blending and harmony. Students also develop dance technique with the choreographer, while exploring characterisation and stagecraft with the director. This comprehensive training culminates in an exceptional performance education.

During the final term, students shift focus to a second performance: a showcase featuring songs from a multitude of musicals and eras. This production allows students to explore a diverse range of styles and techniques from across the Musical Theatre genre.

In Acting, students develop their skills through a variety of workshop-style classes. During the first term, they study influential practitioners, diverse writers, and various performance styles while building their fundamental performance skills. In the second term, focus shifts to a showcase led by their director, featuring a wide variety of acting techniques and theatrical styles.

 

Musical Theatre & Acting – Enrichment

In addition to Core Musical Theatre & Acting classes, students have multiple opportunities to audition for Enrichment Classes. In these specialized sessions, they rehearse and stage a complete, full-scale play or musical.

 

Private Tuition

NAPA offers private classes in Singing, Acting, Dance and Musical Theatre for their existing students.
