REPERTORY ONSTAGE LEARNING EVENTS

​

What Do We Do?

​

Our training programs will benefit all performers, regardless of their level of expertise and further the education and the development of each artist. 

​

The studios of the SAS Performing Arts Company, Inc. offers a performance-driven program called ROLE (Repertory Onstage Learning Events).  This program is designed for the aspiring professional performer whose goal is to become a complete artist. The studios focus on acting, role preparation, techniques, languages, appearance, and the business of performance.  Our program is designed and conducted to be supportive, friendly, and constructive for all who attend.  Participants learn and polish their skills while studying, rehearsing, and performing. They typically range in experience from university undergraduates to working professionals.

​

The studios are separated into distinct divisions as follows:

​

Our programs are constructive, friendly, and supportive for the participants,  with the goal of acquiring and polishing skills through a process of preparation and study where participants are given the maximum amount of attention and interaction.

Participants range in experience from university undergraduates/graduates to the working professional. The faculty consists of specialists in their respective fields of expertise.  We also feature visiting faculty members who will preside over discussions and masterclasses.

Class vs Workshop vs Performance

​

SAS Performing Arts Studios offer both class training, workshop sessions, and performance opportunities.

​

Class training is the act of providing information, instruction, developing skills, and knowledge to a student or someone interested in acquiring additional knowledge. Workshops, on the other hand, are training events. Also, a workshop can be seen as a class that may be part of a larger educational offering.

In a workshop, time is given for the participants to perfect the techniques and methods that are being offered. This can be achieved either on their own or in a group setting.  In most programs, there will a class performance for the participants.

SAS Performing Arts Studios will look to cast participants in our main-stage productions.
