Purchase College: Precollege Acting Intensive Recently Updated

Study the craft of acting taught by an experienced professional at Purchase College's Active Intensive summer program! In this hands-on, conservatory-style intensive for high school students, you will learn a variety of acting techniques that develop the crucial skills of building characters, heightening self-awareness, and exploring a wide emotional range.

Discover not only how to express yourself individually, but also how to work collaboratively, as an ensemble, gaining leadership skills and learning mutual respect while having fun!

In addition, movement, voice and speech, and text analysis allows you to immerse yourself in scene work, monologues, and improvisation.

Students will leave with a confident sense of themselves, and a solid technique and approach to future work.

A visit from the Director of the Conservatory of Theatre Arts is a highlight in the program, where the students hear about Conservatory Acting Programs and the audition/admissions process.
