Over one or two weeks, students develop the three core disciplines: acting, singing, and dance, through daily classes such as jazz dance, ballet, singing technique, and acting through song, while also working on repertoire and ensemble pieces for a final informal performance in the main IAB Theatre.
Taught by industry professionals in an international environment, the course aims to refine technical skills, boost performance confidence, and give participants a realistic taste of professional musical theatre training.
