Begin your professional musical theatre training from age 16 through an intensive conservatoire programme, with a defined progression into degree-level study. Fast-track route to a full BA (Hons) degree by age 19
The FdA Musical Theatre at Italia Conti is a two-year, full-time vocational programme designed to develop technical foundations and performance skills across acting, singing and dance. On successful completion, you progress directly into the final year of the BA (Hons) Musical Theatre, graduating with a full degree.
Training is fully integrated across all three disciplines, with a strong emphasis on performance, rehearsal practice and adaptability. You will build secure technical foundations, develop range and consistency, and apply your skills through structured project and performance work.
Across the two years, training moves from foundational technique to integrated performance. You will take part in productions and rehearsal processes that prepare you for the expectations of degree-level training and the professional environment.
Alongside studio training, you will develop audition technique, self-taping skills and professional awareness. You progress into the final year of the BA (Hons) Musical Theatre as a confident and industry-prepared performer.
In first year you focus on the fundamentals of the core disciplines and early skill integration. You develop the triple threat skills of Acting, Singing, and Dance, initially building each discipline in isolation to establish secure technical foundations as a musical theatre performer.
Core disciplines include Dance (Ballet, Jazz, Tap, Contemporary, Commercial), Singing (Singing Tech, Singing Rep, Musicianship, Ensemble Singing and Acting Through Song), and Acting (Acting Skills, Improvisation, Scene Study, Voice and Text). You will attend three musical theatre workshops that focus on ensemble performance: song and dance, ensemble character development and scene into song. You will also recieve a weekly 1:1 singing lesson to work on vocal technique development focusing on the fundamentals of voice production.
Each week you will take an industry guest workshop which invites a range of further singing, acting and dance styles and industry professionals into the studio to work with you.
Contextual Practice develops reflection and critical thinking. You apply historical and contextual study directly to studio work and develop as a thinking performer. You will explore health and safety as an emerging performer in theatre. This focuses on areas such as safe practice in class, injury prevention and overall positive health, and well-being. Lessons are also used to contextualise the landscape of musical theatre and themes covered in other classes.

Core disciplines include Dance (Ballet, Jazz, Tap, Contemporary, Commercial), Singing (Singing Tech, Singing Rep, Ensemble Singing and Acting Through Song), and Acting (Acting Skills, Voice and Accents, Scene Study, and Voice and Text).

You will also recieve a weekly 1:1 singing lesson to work on vocal technique development focusing on on more advanced voice production including extending vocal range, vocal flexibility, riffs and runs, and mixed voice.
Guest workshops continue into second year to ensure students continue to meet with current industry practitioners, performers and creatives.
You are required to sustain character across longer and more demanding rehearsal and performance contexts, developing professional performance practice through projects which may include:
Within Contextual Practice, you study the history of musical theatre, focusing on Musical theatre as a social and political influence and the chronological development of theatrical trends. Lessons are also used to contextualise the landscape of musical theatre and themes covered in other classes.
Students on the two-year FdA Musical Theatre are automatically offered the opportunity to complete their degree with a third year of study at Italia Conti and will ultimately be awarded a BA (Hons) Musical Theatre qualification. No audition is required, but students must complete and pass the FdA to be eligible to progress into the top-up year.
Students can choose to leave at the end of the 2-year FdA Dance Programme. Students may leave to enter employment or complete further study.
In third year the emphasis is on preparing students for a career as a professional performer. This final year bridges the gap between professional training and the industry.
You will continue to study core skills of ballet, jazz tech, jazz performance, commercial, singing rep, and acting through song to keep your performance skills match fit and ensure you are ready to audition for and perform in professional contracts. You will study acting for camera focusing on both screen acting skills and self taping for auditions. You will have a weekly 1:1 singing lesson to ensure your voice is industry-ready.
