The 3-Year Conservatory is the apex of all training programs at the Stella Adler Studio, with training that is equivalent to the top MFA programs in the nation. In this exclusive program students learn tools and techniques to better engage their imagination, to analyse text deeply and accurately, to create rich, specific characters, to engage the body and voice fully and to work professionally and creatively on both stage and screen. The goal of this program is to fully prepare students for both the craft and business of acting.
The conservatory, accredited by the National Association of Schools of Theatre, facilitates continued growth not only as a creative artist but also as a human being. The academic year spans from September through May.
The first year of the program focuses on providing students a foundation from which to grow through a firm acting technique, voice and speech work, movement and physical exploration, as well as contemporary and classical scene work.
The second year concentrates on applying the tools learned in the first year through intense contemporary and classical scene work, with continued voice and speech work and an exploration of physical acting.
The final year consists of the creation of an original movement- oriented piece followed by three performances of plays—one classical and two contemporary. Additionally, students will perform a 60-minute version of a classical play that will tour NYC schools. This is followed by industry meetings, assistance in creating a website & reel, and an opportunity to audition for the showcase.
