“This summer camp was a great opportunity to experience the local musical culture of London and we also came into contact with first-rate teachers, and saw the latest musicals in the West End! This was the best experience I've ever had!”

The Goldsmiths Musical Theatre Summer School is a 1 week practise-based Musical Theatre course, suitable for young people aged 8-16 who have an interest in dance, singing, performing, or musical theatre. The Summer School is led by industry professionals and frontline West End practitioners, giving an understanding of international Musical Theatre techniques and helping the students to realise their own potential in the field. Students work on a self-chosen song and are given a piece by the tutors which is best suited to their individual talents. At the end of the course, students perform a showcase to a public audience, allowing them to showcase their new skills and giving them a taster of live performance.
