Our way of teaching
Nuestro método de estudios se basa en la teoría llevada a la práctica. La enseñanza debe ser impartida por profesionales en activo cercanos a la realidad de los rodajes, ya que, serán estos profesionales los que muestren al alumnado la actualidad de su oficio.

Durante los dos años que constituyen el curso, el alumnado explorará cuestiones de cuerpo, de texto y de personaje hasta poder situarse en un proceso de interpretación pensado para obras audiovisuales y dramáticas. Este proceso se llevará a cabo desde un trabajo de introspección seguro y adaptado a cada alumna y cada alumno.
