Summer Conservatory (Online) - Acting for Stage & Screen

The AMDA High School Summer Conservatory Online Acting for Stage & Screen program offers an exploration into new texts and current playwrights under the direction of AMDA’s stellar faculty or working artists from both our NY & LA campuses. This program also provides navigation through the world of on-camera acting through intensive study and performance. Students will gain an insider’s perspective on the film and television industries by working on-camera with some of the finest actors and directors in the business. By the end of the session, students will have an in-camera scene for their actor’s reel that highlights their very best. In addition to this, the session ends with an opportunity to submit a self-tape audition for AMDA College and alternative AMDA High School Conservatory Programs as well as a final virtual presentation for family and friends.
