SIX RENOWNED TEACHERS OVER SIX WEEKS
We are proud to present a rare opportunity to learn from six of Los Angeles’s most celebrated theatre artists. Over six weeks, students will experience a rotating lineup of accomplished theatre professionals and Broadway legends, each offering their unique perspectives and expertise.
This course is designed in the traditional masterclass format. Not every student will perform in every session—much of the value comes from observing how master teachers work one-on-one with fellow students. Through this process, you’ll gain insight into a variety of performance styles and techniques, all while deepening your understanding of the craft.
Each week offers something new: acting technique, vocal performance, audition preparation, and professional career insight. By the end of the series, you’ll have experienced the wisdom and artistry of six remarkable teachers.
