Overview
The two-year diploma program focused in Acting for Screen and Stage offered at Fanshawe College centres on collaborative media-based projects with other Fanshawe programs that simulate real-world working environments.
Key Facts
In the first year, you will primarily study at our London Downtown Campus, where you will learn the foundations of acting, with a focus on stage performance. General Education courses, however, are taken at the main campus. In the second year, your studies will be split between the London Campus and the London Downtown Campus, where you will perform in films, motion capture, green-screen work, and experience virtual set performance. You will also learn to do voice work for animation, film and games and combat for stage and screen. The program culminates in a showcase evening presented by students, a mix of live and projected work.
Study in dedicated lab and theatre spaces at our London and London Downtown Campuses, including the largest green screen TV and film studios outside of Toronto. You will also enjoy guest speakers and field trips that provide insight into the professional world of entertainment. Graduate with a professional portfolio of work you can bring to future employers, including an on-camera demo reel, voice demo and recorded monologues that can be used to find acting jobs and representation by agents.
Graduates of the program are eligible to join ACTRA as apprentice members (open to Canadian citizens and permanent residents only), and during level 4 students have the opportunity to meet with a mentor from ACTRA before entering the industry.
Career opportunities
Graduates of Fanshawe’s Acting for Screen and Stage program will have the opportunity to pursue creative careers working in theatre, film, television, animation, game, and other fields where performance is required. Growth in the screen industries, driven by demand for content by streaming services, has created a talent shortage and there is strong demand for trained performers to act and do voice work to meet this need. Performers will find work as stage and screen actors, motion-capture character performers, voice performers for game and animation characters, TV hosts and narrators.
