The Summer Workshop is a telescoped, six-week curriculum based on the first year of the two year Certificate program. Like the Certificate program,
it approaches acting through a fusion of the arts and is based on the Meisner Technique. The Workshop includes courses in the techniques of acting
and in speech and movement related to acting. It is designed for people with varying levels of previous experience as well as for those who want
initial training.
There are two summer classes of approximately 25 students each. Classes are held Monday through Friday for six weeks. Classes are designated according to age group. Student ages range from 18 to 60.
