follows program description.The National Theatre Institute (NTI)
has been described by the New York Times as a "boot camp" for aspiring
young theatre artists. In a thirteen-week semester - comprised of
seven-day schedules - students are offered a very intensive, wide-ranging
and practical experience in professional theatre in an atmosphere
similar to that of a repertory company working together on a series
of projects. The program is housed at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre
Center, a 90-acre estate including residential buildings, acting
studios, two open-air theatres, and a cabaret space. The core curriculum
consists of voice, playwriting,, costume and scene design, movement,
directing, and acting classes enhanced by the staging of works-in-progess.
The semester ends in a final project, which draws together the major
elements in acting, culminating in public performances. An advanced
directing program is also offered, normally during the spring semester.
Students undertake a two-week workshop in the United Kingdom in
Stratford-upon-Avon as a part of the regular NTI semester. The workshops
are based on English classical texts, British folk dancing, and
choral singing, revolving around a special project that is rehearsed
and performed in Stratford. Internship opportunities are available
to NTI alumni as well as auditions for summer theatre. Group housing
is available at the O'Neill Theater Center. Eligibility; Proven
ability to handle the demands of disciplined theatre work. Required
interview in person or by telephone.
