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.
At Master 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, song lyrics workshop, 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: Albert Guinovart, Anna Rosa Cisquella, Jordi Sellas, Albert Faura, Nina, Arnau Vila, Joan Vives, among others.
El Master in Musical Theater Creation has a specialized bibliography for consultation. The master's degree is a meeting point between professionals interested in the genre and a space for dialogue between creators.
