Statement by the Director of Studies

Prof. Marianne Larsen, Director of Studies in Musical Performance © Christian Hartmann

The first thing a desire to study musicals involves is liberating oneself from the idea of "the" musical. This is a genre that is undergoing constant transformation. The three dimensions of dance, song and drama can be explored with the urge to travel (and play), and they can fuse, leading to ever new horizons. Teaching the solid craftsmanship skills required for the profession is combined in an open atmosphere with confidence, elbow room and dynamic self-improvement, thus offering young talent scope for playful and creative development.
