Work with West End Professionals, including Vivien Carter (Anything Goes, Barbican Theatre and Medea, National Theatre) and Ryan Hanlon (Musical Director); with this weekly, dynamic that class provides young people with an introduction to musical theatre for 12-17s. Alongside this, we have a series of exciting Masterclasses and Q&A’s with industry professionals.

Each term we explore songs and create ensemble numbers that explore how to integrate the singing, dance and acting techniques needed to perform on the West End stage.

Don’t worry if you’re a little shy as most of the learning is done in groups with opportunities for solos when you feel more confident about being in the spotlight.

MYC Musical Performers will receive weekly training, which will develop:

• Vocal Technique
• Dance Technique
• Text and Song Analysis
• Creating a Character
• Scene Work
• Improvisation Skills
• Acting Techniques

Weekly sessions from Sat 13 Sep, 2-4pm (Please note: there will be no session on Sat 1 Nov).

Please note

The Mercury Young Company will start working on a main stage production from the September term up until the end of March which will mean committing for both terms and to this performance project. If you are a new member and are looking to join but would like more information before committing, please email [email protected] to get more information from the Creative Engagement team.

MYC Bursary

We want as many young people as possible to have access to our creative activities and we do not want someone’s financial situation to be a barrier to taking part. The MYC Bursary exists to enable participants to take part in activity provided by Mercury Theatre. Please note bursary places are at full capacity at the moment so unable to offer any more and we have a long waiting list. Feel free to register incase a space becomes available.
