Curriculum

This integrated program identifies and defines the essential crafts you need to pursue an acting career, helping define the connections you need to interpret scripts and communicate subtext to audiences. You achieve these connections through daily exploration and practice of imagination, observation of human behaviour, interpretation of language, meaning and metaphor, sensory awareness, and voice and body conditioning.
