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.
Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) unit fee
A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is one that is subsidised by the Australian Government, which means students only pay the student contribution amount of the tuition fee. CSPs are only available to eligible domestic students.
The student contribution amount depends on the unit and how much funding the Government provides. Each unit is classified into a band based on its discipline (which may be different to your overall course discipline).
2025 student contribution amount: $1,164
2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $997
* If you are a continuing student (who commenced your course before 1 January 2021) you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.
