Imelda Staunton gives masterclass at the Academy

This month, Imelda Staunton visited the Academy's Musical Theatre department to lead an acting through song masterclass.

Students on our Musical Theatre MA course took turns to present a song they were working on, and Imelda gave feedback on their performances, imparting her wisdom on acting and performing through song. Imelda then hosted a Q&A, in which our students were able to learn from the experiences of her long and illustrious career.

For several years we have had the privilege of Imelda generously giving an afternoon of her time to come to the Academy. We are grateful for her commitment to working with our Musical Theatre students, and hope to welcome her back again in the near future.

The Academy's Musical Theatre Company will next be performing in a production of Jane Eyre from Thursday 15 to Sunday 18 June – to book tickets, click here.
