Combining this with the knowledge of creating music in a collaborative and interdisciplinary context enhances the composer and writer/lyricist’s ability to create new and diverse pieces.
By exploring the devising process within the field of musical theatre, you will engage with aspects of creating music and developing a narrative that are rarely explored together, but have produced some of the most iconic works of the 20th and Early 21st Century.
