Acting Schools
Teach Performing Arts
By
Michael Bustamante
Acting Schools can be found
in many fine arts departments in colleges and universities
across the country. Acting Schools can also be specialized
institutions for teaching the art and craft of the
performing arts.
|
Acting Schools train students
in theatre, film, and television performance. Four-year
degrees through intensive professional study in Acting
Schools are common, however, some specialized acting
schools provide programs that last just weeks. Students
can choose the level of acting instruction and training
they want. Private lessons are also available in some
instances.
Acting School associate
degree programs prepare students to convey information,
attitudes, feelings, moods, and ideas through natural
behavior in imaginary situations. Acting School
instruction can include acting styles; script
interpretation; voice, speech, and stage dialects; body
movement and improvisation; theatre history; and coaching.
Admission to Acting Schools
for obtaining the Bachelor of Arts (BA), Bachelor of Fine
Arts (BFA), and Master of Fine Arts (MFA) programs often
involves student application forms, academic records,
portfolios, theater experience, and acting auditions.
Students should contact individual schools for admission
requisites.
Acting School classes can
focus on overall ability of individual students, and
students may choose to pursue stage, film, or television
acting. Students can expect classes in acting techniques;
movement; play analysis, production, and production
design; and in directing. Additional courses may include
theater history, theater theory, dance, and voice.
Non-elective general education courses are also required
for Acting School degrees.
Stage performance in Acting
Schools may begin in the first semester of many Acting
School programs. Master studies often include writing and
directing.
