Actors will receive a personality slate and edited scene ready to send to agents, managers, and casting directors. (Limit: 20 students)

Our Production Conservatory is a fast paced camp where actors from all over the world help create an original production in ten days. This conservatory focuses on theatre technique and culminates in the premiere of a brand new play written specifically for the actors involved, which is performed four times in the YAS Theatre. (Limit: 20 students)

Youth Dialect Workshop – July 22nd – August 2nd (10 days) – 10:00AM – 1:00PM – Monday through Friday – Ages 12-17 Cost: $700 ($200 deposit)

This one-of-a-kind intensive gives young actors the tools they need to master any dialect they wish. Students will spend the first week learning the ins-and-outs the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). The second week students will learn how to use the IPA to teach themselves a dialect, using British Received Pronunciation as a basis. On the last day of class, students will be put on tape performing a scene using their newly learned British Dialect. Dialect study is an important but often overlooked facet of an actor’s education – give your young actor the upper hand on their journey!  (Limit: 12 students)
