FAST-TRACK YOUR ACTING CAREER

Acting is both collaborative and solitary.
Once you’re booked, it’s incredibly collaborative, you rarely perform a scene without a partner or director.
On the other hand, it is solitary.
Prepping for an audition, breaking down a script. And if you don’t know how to work with yourself, by yourself, you will be, gambling every time you get on a set.
It is the long game. It really is. If you want to be Anthony Hopkins when he’s in his eighties, find a technique that sustains you.
Because there’s no replacing repetition and practice.
The Atlantic, founded as an ensemble of impassioned students in 1985, has grown into a powerhouse Acting School and a Tony and Pulitzer Prize-winning Off-Broadway Theater Company, and, has helped thousands of actors sustain a career.
Atlantic Acting School’s alumni include:
- Elizabeth Olsen
- Martha Marcy May Marlene
- Avengers: Age of Ultron
- Rose Byrne
- Bridesmaids
- Neighbors
- Jessica Alba
- Fantastic Four
- Sin City
- Zach Woods
- Silicon Valley
- The Office
William H. Macy, one of Atlantic’s founding members, broke down the cornerstone of Atlantic’s teachings, the “Practical Aesthetics” technique:
“There’s a difference between what the character is doing and what the actor is doing…. Everything you do on stage, every objective you have on stage, you have to be able to accomplish it. It has to be accomplishable in real-time without any wind-up.”
Simple, honest, and straightforward, Atlantic Acting School demystifies the process of acting by giving actors a very clear set of analytical and physical tools.
Their two-year Conservatory is a full-time program empowering aspiring actors with technical, creative, personal rigor, and a lifelong community that sustains success.
The curriculum includes:
- Script Analysis
- Voice
- Speech
- Movement
- Performance Technique
- Moment Lab
- Shakespeare
- Staging Intimacy and Violence
- Film Scene Study
- Auditioning
- Business
Wyatt, who graduated in 2019, stated:
“At Atlantic, I think it’s all about getting reps in. I’ve done it so many times that I’m no longer afraid of the playing field. I’m capable of allowing the words to play me. Rather than me playing the words.”
The training produces skilled, brave actors intent on truthful storytelling and generous, collaborative ensemble members adept at producing their own work.
The 2-year Conservatory program begins August 26th, 2024, in New York City.
The deadline to apply is May 15th.
