Start by building a solid foundation in the Atlantic Technique through our acting conservatory program, balancing the development of analytical, physical, and collaborative skills. Working as an ensemble, actors engage with the fundamentals of the Atlantic Technique: script analysis, playing an action truthfully, and working moment to moment. Students synthesize their physical skills with in-class performances of scene work and look ahead to entering the profession with classes that orient them to the landscape of the theater community and introduce business skills.

Core courses: Script Analysis, Moment Lab, Performance Technique, Voice, Speech, Movement, Improv, Professional Development, Introduction to Theater in New York, Theater History, and Staging Intimacy and Violence.

Additionally, first year students participate  as a part of the crew for second year performances.

Year two broadens the application of the Atlantic Technique to an expansive repertoire of genre, style and media-specific work, applying these skills to performance and transitioning into the professional community. Second-year students are guaranteed casting in a final production that takes place on one of Atlantic’s Off-Broadway stages as an exercise to synthesize their training. Students prepare for graduation through business classes geared towards both theater and Film/TV.

Core courses: Advanced Acting, Advanced Performance Technique, Advanced Script Analysis, Film Technique, Shakespeare, Advanced Voice, Advanced Speech, Suzuki/View Points, Stage Combat, Business, and Auditioning.
