Performing Arts

Train with the best—then share your passion with peers.

Be it in studios, rehearsal spaces, or the stage, our Performing Arts Program empowers every student to make magic without judgment. Classes invite dynamic inquiry and experimentation, integrating learned techniques and public performances. Some faculty members are working actors and musicians, infusing their classes with invaluable industry experience.
