2 SEMESTERS. CREATING CREATORs.
Advanced Program
Are you are a passionate, hard-working actor? Do you want to have, not just a career, but a life as an artist, in theater, film, TV, or new media? Then we are looking for you! Here at NCDA, we are committed to creating creators in our Advanced Program.
Beyond strengthening your acting techniques, we will help you develop and expand the talents and passions you know you already have and, crucially, the abilities and artistry you don’t know you have!
In this creator accelerator, you’ll learn to tell stories from the ground up. Whether devising a new play, writing an innovative screenplay, or acting on camera in a short film, you’ll be asked to contribute YOUR ideas every step of the way.

REQUIRMENTS
We are radically redefining actor training by cultivating authenticity, agency, empathy, and diversity in all forms. We are interested in originality and individuality, not types. We welcome applications from students with at least a high school diploma or GED, and have a background or experience in acting, creating, filmmaking, etc. If you feel you’re prepared for the advanced program, we’d love to see what you’ve got!

With supportive faculty, a community of like-minded classmates, and a robust training program rooted in empathy, exploration, and encouragement, there's never been a better time to start!
