  • Diploma in Acting for Film & TV

  • If you are passionate and dedicated to the serious study of acting, this is the program for you: a one-year conservatory program designed specifically to both challenge and nurture the aspiring actor.

    Study directly with some of the best professionals in the industry, for 30 hours of class per week. Our students receive the most intensive practical training in Acting for Film, Television and Voiceover in the country.

  • Term 1 is devoted to building strong foundation skills in acting. In these first 12 weeks, your mind, body and imagination are challenged while exploring text and story. This intensive foundation prepares you for the challenges that await you in the upcoming terms, with most classes held in our dedicated studio space.

  • The second term is dedicated to the actor’s individual process and character development, as you begin emerging into public spaces for location shoots and showcases. Through an intensive scene study and a short film project, as an actor you are challenged to use yourself and your foundation skills to advance your personal exploration into story and character.

  • In Term 3 the challenge to you as an actor is full on! You are pushed to expand your range and raise the commitment and integrity of your performance while gaining confidence in your craft. This term is designed to confront and encourage the individual while pursuing and expanding into ensemble work, rehearsing and performing your first full-length play.

  • In the final term, the professional actor emerges in two intensive projects: a short film shoot and a full-length play in a professional theatre space. The last two months are committed to the business. Demo reels, voice over and audition skills are paramount to your success, so many guest speakers and instructors are brought in to pass on their expertise — including professional actors, directors, casting and talent agents who have worked extensively across North America.

  • Degree Pathways

  • VanArts has articulation agreements in place with several well established universities/colleges in Canada, Australia, and the UK. These degree pathways allow you to complete your bachelor’s degree in as little as one year after your studies at VanArts. This gives you the advantage of two credentials; a professional diploma and an undergraduate degree. These partnerships may not only save you money in tuition cost, but allows you to transition easily from VanArts to the partner institution while continuing your educational pathway in your chosen field of study. For international students, completing your BA degree in as little as two years of additional study with our local university partners provides you with the option to apply for a Canadian work permit, which may lead to permanent residency or Canadian citizenship. This list represents the pathways, universities and specific degrees available for graduates of Acting for Film & Television at VanArts:
