JMK Workshop – The Director & Musical Director Relationship with Phil Bateman

In this workshop we will use practical examples to delve into discussion around musical dramaturgy, underscoring, song development and process, with time for some individual questions. This workshop is suitable for directors who are already making music theatre but also any theatre makers who are interested in using live music in their future work.

Phil Bateman is a musical supervisor, musical director and arranger. He was the original Music Supervisor/Arranger on the Olivier Award winning Our House (Cambridge) and was the Original MD on the multi award winning Billy Elliot the Musical (Victoria Place). Since then he has continued to specialise on new musicals and has worked with an eclectic array of composers and other artists. Currently he is Supervisor/Arranger on Get Up Stand Up (Lyric, Shaftesbury). Other Theatre includes: Local Hero (Edinburgh Lyceum), The Man in the White Suit (Bath/Wyndhams), One Love (Birmingham Rep), The Lorax (Old Vic/Toronto) Olivier nomination, Bugsy Malone (Lyric Hammersmith/UK Tour) Olivier nomination, Made in Dagenham (Adelphi), I Canʼt Sing! (Palladium), As You Like It/Gigi (Regents Park Open Air), Hello Dolly! (Regents Park Open Air) Olivier for Best Revival.
