Introduction to this learning package

In this learning package, we are going to explore the Hollywood musical through the work of film and television scholar Jane Feuer.

These materials are presented in seven sections which are divided in several activities. They provide a total of three and a half hours of independent work. You will need around 30 minutes to complete each section.

This is a white and black photograph of two film reels. The one at the front shows a strip of film coming out of it.

The activities involve some reading, listening, watching and reflecting on how the concepts of mass art and folk art may apply to the Hollywood musical and the forms of dance included in them.

You will be able to download the transcriptions of the podcasts (Word documents) and all the audio files (mp3) onto your computer or mobile device.
