Online Teen Summer Conservatory

ONLINE TEEN SUMMER CONSERVATORY – Cancelled for 2022
5 Weeks, $2000
Monday-Friday, 20 Hours a Week
July 11 – August 12, 2022
The Stella Adler Online Teen Summer Conservatory is a five week, twenty-hour-per-week intensive for 14-18 year olds taking place through live instruction on Zoom. This demanding program is based on the conviction that young actors can be trained with the same rigor and discipline as adults. The faculty in this program is the same as, or comparable to, the Studio’s Conservatory or NYU Tisch Undergraduate Drama programs. Actors exercise all the aspects of craft required to achieve the highest professional standards: voice and speech, movement, improvisation, scene study, Shakespeare and acting technique. As with all of the studio’s programs, the Online Summer Teen Conservatory is informed by the insight that “growth as an actor and growth as a human being are synonymous.” Young people are therefore acquainted not only with core elements of actor training but with the artistic, cultural and humanistic values that support a life in the theater and film.
