Acting - Pace University - New York

Acting from Pace University - New York is a Campus Bachelor Acting degree that prepares you for a Art and Design career. The BFA in Acting is designed to make students competitive in the world of the professional actor. The program begins with the techniques of the Great Russian master, Constantine Stanislavski. Through his works and the work of his colleague, Michael Chekhov, students will learn to develop character from the outside in and from the inside out. From there, they will learn the approaches of Stanislavski???s American disciples such as Lee Strasburg, Sanford Meisner, and Stella Adler. The next step of development will guide students through the spiritual elements of acting as presented by Antonin Artaud and Jerzy Grotowski with their attempts to return the theatre to its ritual beginnings. Once these techniques have been absorbed into the actors??? individual approach, the focus will shift to the performance of Shakespeare, the ancient Greeks, and the comedies of the Restoration. Then comes acting for Film and Television, acting for the Musical Theatre, the Business of Acting and a senior showcase for industry professionals. These acting classes are supplemented with Voice and Movement, Speech for the Stage, Dialects, Theatre History, Make- up, Script Analysis, and a variety of other technique and performance classes. Because the Performing Arts Department believes that classroom work has to be tried on the stage, the department produces a large number of plays, giving students many opportunities to perform throughout their four years of study at Pace. In addition to performance opportunities, students are invited to attend the taping of the popular Bravo Network???s ???Inside the Actor???s Studio??? which is recorded in the Schimmel Center for the Arts on the same stage used by Performing Arts students. In this program, students are uniquely encouraged to fully use the resources of New York City and will be guided towards those resources by a faculty that maintains an open-door policy. The faculty is made up of working professionals who are eager to help students realize their goal of becoming professional actors. View more details on Pace University .
