Musical Theatre

 Activity 1:
You should carry out research and investigation into the key
features of the role and work of the performer, through a range
of methods including theatre visits, websites and prospectus for
training establishments, as well as considering your own
experiences in practical training and activities.
Make sure your research covers the following features of being a
performer:
 Key technical performance skills such as vocal, physical

and interpretative

 Practical skills such as planning, responding to direction
and collaboration

 Employability skills and personal qualities needed to
succeed in the profession

 Other roles the performer interrelates with (for example
other performers, directors, production team members):
how they interrelate and why this is important to the
success of the performance

 Qualifications, training routes and strategies to ensure
continuing professional and skills development

 Employment trends and working conditions

 Lifestyle factors

 You will also conduct a case-study of a performer you
admire, with biographical research and interviews to
examine career trends, working and lifestyle factors: Johnny Depp
