With a limited enrollment of just 12 students, this intimate setting ensures personalized attention and a collaborative atmosphere that fosters growth. Scene partners will be thoughtfully assigned by both the Nate and studio admin, promoting a dynamic pairing that encourages exploration and discovery. Prior to the first class, students are expected to meet with their assigned partners to select a scene and develop a strong familiarity with the text. This preparation is crucial, as it allows for meaningful work from the outset, setting the stage for profound artistic exploration.

We fully respect and support your endeavors as a working actor, but do ask that you inform your representation of when you will be in class and do your best not to have auditions take you away during your time of study.
