OVERVIEW
Kirsten Clarkson, Artistic Director of Schoolcreative, has developed an intensive 6-month program offering a full spectrum of training for Film & TV. Although our focus is in preparing actors for film and television we use both classic and modern teaching styles and material. At the end of the program the actors perform in a showcase and the studio produces a reel for each actor. We have an excellent roster of Instructors who are among the crème de la crème of Vancouver's film community. We also bring in Casting Directors to help whip our students in to crack auditioners. In addition to all this we arrange inspiring field trips for our students.
TESTAMONIAL FROM FULL TIME STUDENT
I believe that I surpassed my own expectations after the fulltime program. I went from feeling like a deer in headlights in my auditions to booking all the time. I’ve grown artistically and as a person. I’ve learned about so much myself, which has opened the doors to being a good actress, artist and businesswoman. I feel as if I had the encouragement from my teachers to grow as much as possible and felt comfortable enough in my own skin see my dreams come true and most importantly know how to make them come into fruition. A couple of my teachers have become my mentors and have supported me along this amazing artistic path. My life really has changed since Schoolcreative. Thank you for everything.
-- Monica Mustelier.

Play Study/ Scene Study with BART ANDERSON
Starts this Monday November 6
Mondays 12 - 4 PM

If it aint on the page, it aint on the stage!!!
*************************************************
Acting Workout with Aaron Craven
Thursday nights 6:30 p.m. - *Free audits*
This class is a mixture of Scene Study and On-Camera Audition technique. Material from both stage and screen is used as text for work both on and off camera. Actors are worked with specifically according to their needs and their career progression. Emphasis is on the actors empowering themselves and learning to make autonomous and spirited choices in their scenes. Improv exercises are used both as a warmup and a facilitation of the actor's craft. A workout class for serious actors only.
After graduating with a Theatre background from The University of British Columbia in 1999, Aaron has had diverse experience on both stage and screen. His Film/TV credits include lead and supporting roles in "Stargate", "Supernatural", "The 4400", "Kyle XY", "Tru Calling", "The Dead Zone", "The Mountain", "14 Hours", "The L Word", "Killer Instinct", and "The Hard Corps". On stage, Aaron performed in the critically acclaimed "Gaslight" at The Hudson Theatre in Los Angeles, and he has directed several shows in Vancouver, including "Toxic Saliva" at the 2004 Fringe Festival and "Glengarry GlenRoss" with an all-female cast in 2002 at Havana.
"Coachings with Aaron are always a great workout that empower me to carry a lot of confidence into the audition room. He helps to define and refine strong choices that are right for the character, the piece as a whole and me as an individual...I highly recommend the experience." Allison Hossack (Series Regular on "Hope Island" and "Kingdom Hospital").
"Aaron understands the process an actor needs in rehearsals and bringing out a full performance from a piece of text. He knows how to work out the mental moves. Time well spent." Veena Sood ("Third World" "Connie and Carla do LA", "Hope Island").
"Aaron has the innate ability to understand human behavior. He will identify your strengths and weaknesses within the first coaching. There is a comfort level in working with Aaron that allows me to find my own instinct in the scene. I go into my auditions strong and confident. He's the only guy I'll coach with." - Miranda Frigon ( Recurring-Jake 2.0", "The Dead Zone", "The 4400", "Ugly Betty" )
"Aaron Craven is a superb actor and gifted teacher. He is incisive and insightful, while establishing an emotionally safe environment for his class. I recommend his classes often and will continue to do so with great confidence." Carol Kelsay – Casting Director
