The curriculum is structured progressively with a strong emphasis on movement and physical expression as a means to unlock the imagination. First-year students study and perform significant texts of the American canon. Focus is given to developing process and technique while expanding imagination and artistry. The second year is devoted to the study of classical text in performance. In addition, there is an increased focus on defining, developing and deepening craft and individual vision. In the third year of training, students engage the modern classics as well as contemporary and world dramatic literature. The third and fourth years are devoted to on-camera technique as well as advanced scene study, all meant to address the growing importance of media to the actor.
