What To Expect

In three semesters of rigourous training, core courses include Script Analysis, Moment Lab, Performance Technique, Voice, Speech, Movement, Production, Business, and Casting.

  • Rigorous scene study training
  • Final performance project in one of Atlantic’s professional spaces
  • Graduates eligible for Annual Alumni Showcase
  • A professional network for life

The first semester concentrates on the foundational work of the Atlantic Technique. Emphasizing script analysis, playing an action truthfully, and working moment to moment, students learn the basics of vocal production, speech and movement technique, while taking work habits to a higher professional level.

The second semester solidifies the students’ understanding of script analysis and encourages integration of emerging skills through the in-class performance of semester-long rehearsal projects. Students also embark on an exploration of a structured improvisational character study, which they write, research, and perform. This semester culminates in an informal workshop performance open to friends and family.

The last semester challenges students to apply their training under the pressures of performance. Work includes advanced scene study, an ensemble performance project, and preparation for the business.
