An ambitious six-week course, the Summer Intensive fully immerses students in Atlantic’s signature acting technique and collaborative approach to truthful storytelling. As part of our summer acting programs in NYC, students gain rigorous training Monday through Friday, with a Guest class offered on Saturdays.
Students work with dramatic texts and are instructed in a disciplined approach to script analysis and working truthfully moment-to-moment. These skills are brought together in a classroom performance of the material.
The program introduces the technique through three core courses: Script Analysis, Moment Lab, and Performance Technique. Further training in classes complementary to scene study includes Voice, Speech, Movement, and Improvisation.
