MT Collaboration

Collaboration

Musical Theatre is itself the fusion of different art forms. At Trinity Laban you will work collaboratively not just within the department, but with students and staff from across the Conservatoire. You will work closely with musicians from the Faculty of Music, with pit bands for our end of year productions being recruited from the ranks of our music students. You will also take part in CoLab, our unique two-week collaborative learning experience across the institution, where you will be encouraged to take creative risks, try out new artistic ventures and push the boundaries of your art forms

MT Performance

These will give you the chance to apply and adapt your developing skills to a diverse range of repertoire and performance settings.
