This one year professional acting training conservatory program is designed for the professional, working actor. This intense, narrow scope of training program, is designed to build on the actor’s existing set of skills and take training to the next level. Students will work with The Barrow Group’s simple, effective tools, as compiled in Seth Barrish’s book “An Actor’s Companion”, which help an actor to find more ease, spontaneity, and clarity.
After completing the One Year Professional Acting Program, students can apply for the One Year Actor Craft Expansion Program.
