In order to maintain students' current levels of ability and push them towards the
greater levels required for such an intensive programme of rehearsal and
performance, some regular classes from Year 1 are continued into Year 2,
ensuring the maximum possible contact time over the course.

Term 1
This term concentrates on consolidating and
building on the work of the first year, with one daily
class in each of the three main disciplines of dance,
drama and singing. In addition to these, regular
portfolio classes ensure students remain fully
prepared with repertoire for future auditions.
The majority of the core day is spent in a
professional rehearsal-style environment, with a
Director / Musical Director / Choreographer, working
towards a professional production. This term
features two productions, which may include:
devised work; theatre in education; straight plays;
concerts.
Students are involved in all aspects of each
production, in order to gain a valuable insight into the
challenges and demands of a theatrical company,
and to fully appreciate the rewards that come with
being a part of a successful production.

and mock exams towards their final performance exam.
Students submit their Reflective Practice - a written work
of approximately 4000 words, which forms Unit 2 of the
LTCL Diploma, and take their Final Performance exam -
an assessed performance, which forms Unit 3 of the
LTCL Diploma.
The course culminates in a Student Showcase in a
London theatre, in which every student receives equal
stage time to demonstrate their skills in all disciplines,
in both solo and group pieces. This show includes an
invited audience of industry professionals.
Our aim is that every student who completes the Two
Year Musical Theatre Course is a fully-trained,
experienced triple-threat performer, who feels prepared
to enter the profession and put their training into practice
for a sustained and rewarding career.
