Since 2010 Visionbox Studio has been offering Summer Training Intensives to high school and college age students in Colorado. This training is rooted in graduate-level curriculum and taught by theatre professionals. In addition to preparing students for theatre work inside and outside the classroom, these intensives will also help students interested in applying to undergraduate theatre programs, conservatories, and graduate schools.

 

Each two-week intensive is broken up into skills classes focused on movement, voice and speech, singing, and improv. All evening classes focus on acting, and are taught by Visionbox’s Founding Artistic Director, Jennifer McCray Rincon. These classes emulate graduate school scene study curriculum. Tuition for each two-week intensive is $1500 per student. There will be some scholarships available, email info@visionbox.org to learn more!
