Theatre Conservatory

(Available only to Envision students, the following classes are offered in the extended school day.)

Level 1 Theatre

In their first year in the program (typically their sophomore year at CCA), students accepted in Envision must take the appropriate Level 1 course in their area of expertise. The Level 1 course is a highly advanced class involving in-depth hands on experiences with working artists from one or more of our many partners. The Level 1 course will also cover a breadth of curriculum not found in regular "during-the-school-day" elective courses.

The Level 1 course includes an intensive 3-week Interdisciplinary Projects unit in January. Interdisciplinary Projects will consist of student teams working together on pre-approved projects that culminate in a performance, publication, production, exhibit, etc. An example might be a film maker, musician, actor, and digital artists who team up to make a short indie-style film.

The Level 1 course also includes an intensive 3-week Extradisciplinary Electives unit at the end of the school year. The Extradisciplinary Electives unit is designed to give students the opportunity to study an art form outside of their area of expertise, for instance a dancer might choose to take a painting elective or a digital/fine artist might choose to take an acting elective.
