Conference on Teaching Musical Theatre in UK Higher Education

 '"Putting It Together": Teaching Musical Theatre in UK Higher Education'
University Theatre, Newton Park Campus, Bath Spa University
Friday 27 March 2009 - Saturday 28 March 2009

The purpose of this conference is to stimulate debate around musical theatre provision in UK higher education. While this is a popular and growing area of study, musical theatre remains something of an afterthought in many institutions, often positioned slightly awkwardly within either a music or drama department.

This conference aims to bring together teachers from across the UK to address the specific challenges and questions of designing and teaching musical theatre modules and courses. The focus of the conference will be on interaction between delegates, sharing ideas and good practice, as well as identifying ways in which teachers who work within this area might strengthen their connection to each other and to the theatre industry.
