Objectives
El Master in Musical Theater Creation aims to provide students who enroll with specialized tools for the creation and performance of original and home-produced musicals, and to promote cooperation between professionals.
It is a university-level master's degree where you deepen the essential knowledge to write a musical, with eminently practical subjects. In addition, it enriches and complements the students' abilities and skills in order to enhance their creativity, expression and interpretation.
The master's degree provides the necessary pedagogical structure in order to investigate the field of musical theater in theoretical depth; prepare, produce and create shows of this genre; expand contemporary artistic, academic and technical training; and the approach in the use of new technologies applied to the scene.
In the Master's in Musical Theater Creation, the genre is analyzed from a historical point of view in order to understand the aesthetic decisions that were made when creating the great works admired today. It also analyzes the sources of inspiration of the great masters, a fundamental exercise that helps students find their own genuine, personal and non-transferable way of doing things.
The structure of the master's degree is made up of weekly subjects (History of musical theatre, representative composers, workshop on song lyrics, the study of dramaturgy, pre-production of a musical, applied technology, composition and deconstruction of songs...) and, also a series of master classes given by active professionals: Antoni Font-Mir, Nina, Àngel Llàcer and Manu Guix, Jordi Sellas, Ariadna Peya and Andreu Gallén, Anna Rosa Cisquella, among others.
The Master in Music Theater Creationl has a specialized bibliography for consultation. The master's degree is a meeting point between professionals interested in the genre, a space for dialogue between creators and a place where we can improve our musical studies.
STUDENT PROFILE
Graduates of higher studies in music, drama, directing and acting and professors, teachers and professionals in the sector who wish to extend their training can access it. The personal interview will also assess any non-regulated training or experience.
