Description

This combined course provides students with an opportunity to develop their chief music study and academic skills in music, while expanding their analytical and critical knowledge of other performing arts disciplines.

Students will undertake the discipline-based components of the Bachelor of Performing Arts in theatre and performance. They will be encouraged to open their horizons of understanding and imagination to the many new materials, ideas and values with which they will be confronted.
