IntensiveProcessCameraScript ClassesWhy So Many Choices?

At Act One you can take one class at a time -- or you can immerse yourself in this course of Intensive study tailored for YOU - to fit your individual developmental needs. The program is open to actors of all levels.

Intensive students attend four classes per week (you pick the days & times that work with your schedule.) We guide your curriculum choices for your total development. You will choose one script based class (from Fundamental to Masters), two process classes and one camera class (10 to choose from). The cost of the intensive program is $895 -- essentially 4 classes for the price of 3.

You have to practice to get better. Think of it like going to the gym and working out. Each class is like a different piece of equipment. It works a different muscle. If you have worked your leg presses, does that mean you never have to work them again?

"Practice. Practice. Practice. I think that’s the only thing you can do. Like my grandmother said, practice makes perfect. To do anything you have to practice. You have to do it. If you don’t do it, you won’t do it. You can’t be a writer in your head, just like you can’t play the piano in your head. I’m the meanest piano player I know--in my head. I can play some piano in my head, it’s just when I get to the piano it gets difficult. You have to work at it." - playwrite Amari Baraka, author of Dutchman
