All classes are taught using a holistic approach and a "Learn by Doing" curriculum which encourages full, active participation in the discovery, developmental and performance phases of work. 

Students don't just learn through physical mimicry, but instead through a mind-body approach- applying their discoveries, concepts, and techniques learned to self directed activities such as improvisation, teacher-student directed choreography, scene writing, music composition and art composition.

This process allows students to gain a deeper understanding of skills and concepts learned and makes for a fully integrated artist - one with technical proficiency AND artistry.
