Our Aims
The goal of the Professional Actor Training program at the Centre is to assist people to develop in the broadest sense of the word and specifically to offer the best curriculum to assist actors working in the film, television and theatre industry.

All of our coaches are working professional actors with teaching experience who want to give actors experience in class that will further their career and make them versatile actors.

Taking class at the Centre is part of the actor's on-going work; there is no quick fix and one doesn't 'graduate' from level to level. We teach each actor at their own level and give them maximum time to
perform.

Our harmonious atmosphere allows people to grow at their own speed and assimilate experience. Learning the lesson yourself is the most powerful method.
