Musical Theatre (ages 15-17)

There are no entry requirements for this course and no previous musical theatre experience is necessary.

Students should come to the course expecting to work hard, be challenged and enjoy contributing to the creative process.

Students should dress in comfortable clothing that they can move in and wear appropriate footwear i.e. trainers, dance shoes and gym shoes and be willing to work barefoot if required.

Students should bring water to class each day, as the course will include physical activities.

Students may find it useful to bring a recording device.

The course runs Monday, 19 July – Friday, 23 July, 2027 from 10am to 5pm.

There will be a short sharing of the work students have been engaging with on the Friday afternoon for invited family and friends.

Please note that although we aim to schedule the sharing times during the course hours, on some occasions they may be go beyond the course end times. All final sharing times will be confirmed at least 2 weeks before the course start date. 

Summer Accommodation

We are pleased to welcome students from across the world to our Summer Schools. Our course fees do not include accommodation or food, and these should be organised by the student. Our campus is located in Glasgow city centre, and you can find the addresses below.

We recommend Base Glasgow, a purpose-built accommodation for full-time Conservatoire students, with Rehearsal Rooms, Practice Spaces and Dance Studios. Base Glasgow is perfectly suited to offer short-term accommodation to our summer school students; both safe and secure, with 24/7 staff presence and only 3 mins walk from our main Renfrew Street building, keeping travel costs to a minimum.

Please note that accommodation at Base Glasgow is highly sought after and limited. Short Courses cannot guarantee that there will be room availability at the time of your course, and we strongly advise that bookings me made as soon as possible.

Classic Studio rooms come with a 3/4 bed, kitchen area with a microwave oven and induction hob, en-suite bathroom, ample storage, mirror, study desk and chair. These are self contained rooms with no shared spaces, and can be booked for either single or dual occupancy.

Please note that Short Courses staff are not affiliated with BASE or on site outwith the summer school teaching hours, and therefore cannot take responsibility for students outside of these hours.
