THE NEW YORK CONSERVATORY FOR DRAMATIC ARTS
(Formerly School for Film and Television)
Organization Directory Page
The
New York Conservatory for Dramatic Arts was founded in
1980 as Actors in Advertising, mainly teaching acting for commercials.
By 1992, more than sixty percent of the course offerings were in film
and television acting technique. The Conservatory was also known as The
School for Film and Television until the change to its current name in
2007. The Conservatory now offers both a post-secondary Two-Year Conservatory
program for film and television performance and a four-week summer program,
which also accepts high-school juniors and seniors. Many courses are
taught by those industry professionals who use these techniques every
day: actors, directors, agents, casting directors, and producers.
The mission of the Conservatory is to integrate the acting foundations
and methods necessary for the stage into the newer performance art forms:
film and television. The Conservatory aims to train the artist in a
systematic, process-oriented approach to acting in conjunction with understanding
the technical and professional demands of these fast paced, goal-oriented,
profitable venues. Most importantly, every student works in almost every
session of every course, so they garner both an intellectual and practical
understanding of acting technique and the industry.
The student body hails from across the U.S. and many countries overseas.
Course work is available for the beginner, as well as the trained actor.
Enrollment is based on previous education and experience, as well as
individual goals and professional standards.
The New York Conservatory for Dramatic Arts is accredited by the National
Association of Schools of Theatre and is approved by the U.S. Department
of Education as a Title IV HEA Participant.
