About The Program
Wednesdays | 7-9:30pm | Charleston Location
The Accelerated Program is designed to accelerate the growth of our actors through focused study. This program is for actors looking to take their craft and spend designated time developing it more deeply.
Instructor(s) having a smaller class size paired with the long term format(3+ months) allows students’ acting skills to be developed with deep intentionality, attention to detail and individual tailoring.
Each quarter has a designated Actor’s Focus where specific elements of acting are are highlighted and developed through an array methods, allowing actors to develop their craft without rush.
Quarters can be taken individually or consecutively.
This Program yields the highest benefits when taken longterm. The full program is 2 years, with the first year focusing on groundwork and the second focusing on advanced level work.
Students at ANY acting level can register for this program. Material will be adjusted to meet you where you are in your journey.
