- Industry Panel week: The MA culminates in an industry presentation taking place for an entire week for invited Agents and Casting Directors. Students sing two contrasting songs and have one monologue to present to a daily changing panel of agents and casting directors.
- Extended Independent Study: As an MA student, you create your own cabaret show as part of your final module. This project enables you to self-direct a cabaret performance, as well as produce the show in full. You will book venues, arrange rehearsals and apply the gained skills to an hour long performance. The subject of your piece will be decided by you and which areas of theatre you wish to explore further.
