Classes

The Intensive 2012. Actor practices during exterior filming exercise.

Acting styles change with the times and right now acting for television and film is changing dramatically. What’s required today in episodic drama and feature films is the ability to be utterly and completely natural and truthful in front of the camera and this demands enormous confidence in one’s skills. It’s a great and exciting challenge for both new and experienced actors and it requires a new way of focusing and adapting your skills.

Our acting classes at Centre for the Arts embrace this new acting reality and we are 100% committed to preparing actors for it. We’ll work to strip away artifice and help you find your particular way to being honest and entirely comfortable in front of the camera. We’ll use a variety of teaching tools with an emphasis on scene work, drawn from the television series and films of the moment. You’ll learn to effectively analyze a scene and play truthfully within it. All our class work is experiential; you’ll work in front of the camera and your work will be recorded on a DVD for your review.

Class Fee Schedule.                     There will be no Registration Fee charged from the November classes on. Class and private session fees will remain the same through until the end of 2012.     HST will be added to all class and private session fees beginning November 6, 2011.
Time, date, price subject to change.
Centre for the Arts is a member of TAAS (Toronto Association of Acting Studios) and TAPA (Toronto Alliance for the Performing Arts).

    Hello John,

    My name is Jennifer Griffith and I’m interested in taking your level 2 class.

    In a nutshell, I’m wanting to break into the industry of theatre, film and television. I have a diploma in vocal performance from The Glenn Gould school where I performed in opera workshops. Since then I have also performed in musical theatre. I’m wanting representation from agents but realise that I need to have real skills in acting.

    My friend Margaret Thompson suggested that I audit your classes first. Would this be more beneficial at the moment? or Do you think that your that level 2 is suitable for me.

    I look forward to your email. You may also call. My is (416) 924-8303

    Thank you,

    Jennifer

    Thank you.

    Truly,
