Resources for Artists
American Conservatory Theater's M.F.A. Program
http://www.act-sfbay.org/
ACT seeks to develop the artist in every actor. They cultivate educated
men and women of the theater with a critical sense who will energize
and advance performance in America. Our training prepares actors
to succeed in all aspects of the profession, but our primary goal
is to prepare artists for a lifelong investment in the theater.
Our curriculum combines rigorous training in the practical disciplines
of acting with the study, rehearsal and performance of classical
and contemporary works drawn from the world repertoire. We believe
that actors who have an intellectual and visceral grasp of dramatic
literature, who recognize a relationship between new and classical
work, are uniquely prepared to collaborate in the development of
new dramatic forms. Our association with the ACT mainstage, as well
as our location, enriches every aspect of our program, bringing
students of many backgrounds into close and regular contact with
writers, directors, designers, and actors of many theatrical traditions.
It is through this exposure to professionals at work—and to
their audience—that our students learn what drama means to
the life of a community, and how the life of a community enriches
its theater.
