Selfmade Music Theatre was started in London in 1991 and is a small-scale music theatre company devoting itself mainly to new works of contemporary music theatre. It has a number of original touring productions which are permanently available, many of which incorporate mixed-media elements such as tape, video and projected images.
Its educational work is focused mainly on the development of vocal skills and confidence, freeing up the voice so that it can be used with ease, using a variety of creative and confidence-building exercises. It has workshops available for a wide range of singers, from complete beginner to professional.
Its main workshops, The Singing Bowl (based on the sound of a 100-year-old Tibetan singing bowl), The Performance and The Creative Singer have been widely praised and can be run concurrently with any of the productions. The course, The Creative Singer – Empowering the Inner Voice, has become an annual feature at the Esalen Institute (California), and Susie Self, Selfmade’s Artistic Director, teaches regularly at Skyros (Greece) and Dartington (UK).
Selfmade's most recent production, Heroic Women, was premiered in Taiwan in 2002, and in the UK in 2003 before subsequently touring Europe and California. Selfmade Music Theatre is also a member of the Opera and Music Theatre Forum (OMTF), the representative body for small- to middle-scale opera and music theatre in the UK.
