The Integrated Program provides comprehensive training in acting, dance, and vocal performance for stage and screen. Designed for the "triple-threat" performer, this intensive four-term program weaves together physical, imaginative and vocal coursework to developing skilled performing artists who possess a seemingly endless range of career possibilities.
Students are immersed in multi-arts training from the very start of their program. Expansive and specified curriculum helps develop strong foundations in a variety of musical skills, dance styles and acting techniques. Courses in the beginning of the program often emphasize the individual artist's development and approach, while more advanced courses expand opportunities to explore duets, trios and working in ensembles. Throughout the program, individual voice training helps support the breadth of courses provided each term.
