Acting for Screen and Stage

Fanshawe’s Acting for Screen and Stage program inspires students to pursue their acting talents and lays the groundwork for a successful career in performance-based media. This two-year diploma program centres on collaborative media-based projects with other Fanshawe programs that simulate real-world working environments. During the first year of study, you will learn the foundations of acting involving stage performance. In the second year, students perform in films, motion capture and 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 Fanshawe’s London and London Downtown Campuses, including the largest green screen TV and film studios outside of Toronto. You’ll 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.
