Bachelor [Acting with International Performance Study] From Columbia College Chicago

Each student will receive personalized instruction and ample production/performance opportunities, several exclusive to the BFA cohort. Our program capacities are intentionally small to ensure individual attention, honing both the skills of the solo player as well as ensuring a strong commitment to an ensemble ethos. Progressively intense training in voice, movement and acting styles culminates in a required study abroad semester. Following the study abroad experience the BFA cohort returns to Chicago to create and perform a new work or present a contemporary European script, synthesizing the techniques and insights acquired over the course of study in this highly structured, rigorous program.

The BFA speaks to and meets the needs of the 21st century professional actor with its emphasis on immersing the actor in training that is European as well as American based. This wider focus is intended to help the BFA actor who graduates from our program to be able to operate on a global stage and to be familiar with the latest creative trends that link the interactive and international acting/directing community.
