How ToARTS — ACTING
Arts are often sadly
neglected today in education. We offer extensive programs
in Music Theory and Composition; Animation; and Acting, all
designed for home school use. These highly creative,
detailed courses provide an education in depth, with an eye
toward the creation of professionals. They should generally
be done in sequence by the student interested in that art
form.
To discover more about this program, please
start by watching the video that you'll find toward the top

samples provided.
ACTING COURSES OVERVIEW
Mr. Horwich has been teaching acting professionally since 1973. He has also taight at the University level, in private schools and consistently during that time in private workshops. At the Upper School level, the program consists of two courses. IF YOUR STUDENT DID LOWER SCHOOL ACTING I AND II, then they should skip Upper School Acting I and go straight to Upper School Acting II, which provides the basics of a technique that the student can build on to develop their acting ability. For the stuent who did not do Lower School Acting, we do recommend that they start with Upper School Acting I, which covers all the Lower School acting materials and which explains essentials an actor must know to work on stage.
The end result of our one year Upper School Acting program is a student who understands how to work in a play, knows how take direction, knows how to work with a director, and has the basis of a technique that he or she can develop on and become a proficient actor.
For a more detailed approach to acting, please consider Mr. Horwich's Ethical Art Actor's Handbook , available on this site. It contains both Upper School courses and an enormous amount of additional material, intended to help develop a professional actor.
