What is "ROLE"?

SAS Performing Arts Studios offers a performance-driven program called ROLE (Repertory Online Learning Experience).  This program is designed for the aspiring professional performer whose goal is to become a complete artist. Each studio will focus on their specific genre of performance. At various times during the year, we will offer master classes by visiting artists.

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 be a class performance for the participants.
