Explorar detalles del curso

Our Acting (Musical Theatre) Summer School places character, text and storytelling at the heart of performance. Through acting, singing and movement, you’ll explore how a character’s thoughts, feelings and intentions carry from spoken scenes into song.

This intensive week introduces young performers to acting-led musical theatre training. You’ll develop your acting skills alongside your singing and physical expression, learning to make confident, considered choices in rehearsal and performance.

Pre-vocational level training: an intensive programme designed to prepare students for full-time training in Performing Arts.
Expert tuition from experienced staff and industry professionals across acting, voice, movement, and more.
Comprehensive acting and musical theatre curriculum: covering acting scenes, acting skills, improvisation, acting through song, ensemble singing, musical theatre workshop and voice.
Open to ages 12 to 18: students are divided into groups according to age, ensuring tailored training at every level.
End-of-week sharing performance: showcase your work to friends and family on the final day.
Free Italia Conti T-shirt included with enrolment.

If you’re beginning to think about a future in performing arts, this course is designed to help you take that next step with purpose and clarity.

Experiencias de los estudiantes

“

I have found that my first term at Italia Conti has been better than I could’ve imagined. I am working with driven, passionate, likeminded people within all different realms of the performing arts industry. The course is very tailored to each individual, broad enough to apply to everyone but specific enough to challenge each person.
