Our Faculty
Our faculty are active members nationwide and in the South Florida theatre community. They are respected members of professional organizations including Actors’ Equity Association, Screen Actors Guild, Society of American Fight Directors, United Scenic Artists, National Dance Education Organization, Florida Dance Educators, Florida Association for Theatre Education, and the Voice and Speech Trainers’ Association. We have a wide breadth of training in performance techniques including certifications in several movement and voice disciplines including Laban, Alexander, Fitzmaurice and Linklater, as well as in Stage Combat.
Our ongoing professional work and association keeps us innovative and current in our classrooms, studios, and in our productions, and is a direct benefit to the strength of our undergraduate programs. It’s these connections that allow us to bring in the field’s top people for Master Classes and as Eminent Scholars, bringing their real-life knowledge to the curriculum.
