About This Activity
YAPI (Young Actors Professional Intensive) is a program for dedicated actors ages 13 - 19 who are looking for conservatory-style training to prepare for college or a career in theatre. This program is focused on a holistic approach, including training for the actor as well as skills and experiences needed to thrive in this fast-paced and competitive industry. If students are not ready for a more advanced experience we recommend enrolling in a Change It Up, Skills, or Performance camp instead. New this year, students are able to sign up for the weeks of the program that most fit their interest, training goals, and schedule. Each week can stand alone as a training module, or weeks can be combined for a more complete and holistic experience. Students who participate in all 5 sessions will be offered the opportunity to complete an audition for local casting and artistic personnel for additional feedback and networking. This session's focus is BUSINESS OF THE BUSINESS. What does it take to make it as a professional actor? This week we will deep dive into preparing students for all that is required to make it in this industry. Topics explored will include choosing a college or advanced training program, resumes and headshots, website and self-promotion, creating a reel, audition techniques, mental toughness and handling nerves and rejection, taxes for the artist, and more! Additional week themes include: MOVEMENT, DANCE, AND THE BODY (July 14 - 18) ACTING TECHNIQUES AND STYLES (July 21 - 25) MUSICAL THEATRE THROUGH THE DECADES (July 28 - Aug 1) VOCAL TECHNIQUE: FROM SPEECH TO SONG (Aug 4 - 8) The Pricing Structure is: 1 Week : $425/each ($395 Early Bird) 2 Weeks: $405/each ($375 Early Bird) 3 Weeks: $385/each ($355 Early Bird) 4 Weeks: $365/each ($335 Early Bird) 5 Weeks: $345/each ($315 Early Bird)
