PAMTC1001 CRITICAL STUDIES IN MUSIC THEATRE 1
Students investigate Music Theatre genres and styles by tracing the development of the form from the 19th century into the 21st century with particular focus on the Broadway tradition. Students will develop an understanding of how Music Theatre operates within larger cultural, political, economic and social contexts. Questions are raised about how this popular art form brings about and also reflects change in society. The course highlights the historical contribution of Jewish immigrants and African Americans to this uniquely American artform and the role Music Theatre has played in exporting the American `Dream¿ to global audiences. The research, analytical and interpretative skills developed in this unit will feed in to the practical work undertaken in Music Theatre Studio.
