We are very excited to announce dates for the second annual Arts Club Actor’s Intensive. Here’s the 411 in a nutshell:

• Classes will commence May 24 and end with the Showcase on June 26. Debriefs will be held on June 28 at a time still to be determined.
• The basic schedule is Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6-10pm and Sundays from 10am-6pm.
• The only exception to this schedule is the showcase day (Sunday, June 26) which will be 2pm-6pm for a class/final prep time. The showcase will commence at 8pm to be followed by a reception. 
• Please make sure you can attend ALL classes before applying. Because there is lots of scene work, your absence means other students don’t get instruction.

• All classes will be held at the rehearsal hall at the Arts Club offices on Granville Island. The showcase will be held at the Revue Stage.
• Total number of instruction hours is 72, which is up 8 hours from last year–46 hours of acting instruction, 16 hours of movement and 10 of voice.
• Scott Bellis and Dean Paul Gibson will once again be leading the acting training. In addition, Jennifer Clement has joined the roster of instructors. Movement and voice instructors will be updated as they are confirmed. Watch the bios page.
• The total cost is $625 + $75 HST for a grand total of $700. If your application is selected you will need to pay a non-refundable deposit of $350 by April 25 and the remaining $350 by May 12.
• Here is our policy on refunds: If you have to drop out of the class between May 12 and May 20, if we can fill your spot with another student, your tuition, less the deposit, will be refunded to you. If we cannot fill the spot you will forfeit the entire amount. Failure to make the deposit or pay the remainder of the tuition by the due dates will result in a loss of your spot in the class.
• To apply: please send a one-page cover letter that clearly states why you think you would be a good candidate for the class AND a 1-page resume summarizing your performing experience and training. Please include your contact information. Headshots may also be sent, but they are not necessary. Send this information to actors[dot]intensive[at]artsclub.com. The deadline to receive your application is April 10. There were more than 30 applications last year, so our recommendation is to apply early so as to not get lost in the crowd.

Good luck!
