Program DescriptionProgram Name: 1-Semester Acting for Film Program
In the one-semester program in Acting for Film, students build a strong foundation in acting, studying techniques rooted in the theater, but applied to screen acting. Students participate in a broad array of core acting classes that introduce them to finding the actor within, while simultaneously training their instrument to do the kind of technical, emotional, and physical work necessary for film acting. Students will gain confidence working in front of the camera and will also act in a live performance. The duration of the programs vary by campus. NYFA Australia’s semester-long program is concentrated into ten weeks and is called the 10-Week Acting for Film Workshop. In Florence, the program will run for twelve weeks.
