Bachelor of Fine Arts in Acting
Program Overview
The Theatre School’s Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) degree in acting prepares actors to work on both stage and screen. It develops actors who are imaginative, skillful, expressive and vibrantly alive. It is rooted in the Chicago tradition, emphasizing physicality, truth in action, communication, collaboration and spontaneity. The first year introduces the actor to a broad range of techniques and experiences, defines a way of working and provides a set of skills. The next three years focus on developing and refining this way of working—adding skills and technique—while helping each actor discover and apply those which work best for them.
Students learn from a distinguished and award-winning faculty of working professionals who possess a wide variety of backgrounds and expertise. Our faculty has spent many years developing successful, personal and powerful curricula that incorporate ideas from Stanislavski, Spolin, Johnstone, Shurtleff, Meisner, Bogart, Lessac, Linklater, Yoga, Tai Chi, Feldenkrais®, Laban, mask work, and more. Students are inspired through unique points-of-view within a comprehensive four-year progression of acting, movement, and voice and speech curriculum.
Equally important to the training students receive in the classroom is the opportunity they have to synthesize and practice what they’ve learned in production, with each student completing productions assignments—typically one each quarter—over their three years in the Production Phase of the program.
