This unit aims to use case studies of existing music theatre works to analyse method, structure, dramatic goals, and design elements as they relate to the book/script and lyrics. Each week builds progressively on the next, as a means of mastery learning. This progression is reflected through weekly formative assessment tasks which culminate in small teams of students writing and performing a 10 to 15-minute section of musical based on a single story chosen by the cohort. Students will be guided to connect their sections to form a full-length work of music theatre.
