The comprehensive curriculum seamlessly integrates the three disciplines of Acting, Dance and Voice/Music into the actor’s body and technique creating a well-rounded and versatile young actor. The faculty in this CAP21 Conservatory training program is comprised of the finest master teachers and working professionals who specialize in the integration of these three disciplines.

The acting curriculum is rooted in the belief that truthful acting is created through great storytelling, physical behavior and sensory work based on the teachings and influences of Stanislavski. It is CAP21’s belief that superior training and technique are facilitated by the use of great theatrical literature including: Shakespeare, Arthur Miller, Anton Chekhov, Tennessee Williams, Rodgers & Hammerstein and Stephen Sondheim as examples. For second and third year actors, advanced classes such as Vocal Performance and Musical Scene Study are added as well as Dialects, Audition Technique, Monologues and the Business of “The Business.” The voice & music curriculum trains the actor in vocal technique, sight singing and ear training. The Voice and Speech classes intensively train the actors’ instruments using the Linklater and Skinner Systems of vocal production. The dance curriculum consists of the actor developing and/or continuing strong technique in ballet, modern, yoga, tap and jazz. Throughout the dance progression, the curriculum builds to all styles of theatre dance, song and dance and modern dance to further incorporate the actor’s physical body into all areas of their work.  Click here for: application and other information.
