ADVANCED PERFORMANCE COMPANY    Ages 15–18

Entrance into this program by interview and audition. Call 250-386-8593 or email to set up an appointment for early September.

This highly regarded and popular program, now entering its thirteenth year, provides serious theatre students with an opportunity to train extensively.

Students study movement, voice, improvisation and acting techniques and engage in self-evaluation, group discussion and collaboration. The 8 month long course also provides the opportunity to study specific methodologies with guest instructors from Victoria's professional theatre community. Text, subtext, story, and characters of a two act play are studied in depth and rehearsed.

In the spring, the program culminates with the students presenting their work to the community in a professional theatre. From beginning to end, from read through, to rehearsal, to memorization, to having headshots and bios done for the theatre and to the final performance with set, sound, lights and costumes, these students have the opportunity to learn what a professional does.

In May, look for these students and their production in local papers and television stations. This is a great opportunity for aspiring young actors/actresses to watch and be inspired by their peers who are tackling a serious piece of creative work.
