Why should I study at Company of Rogues? How does Rogues compare with other schools?

Every Instructor at Company of Rogues is a working professional. This means that your Instructor has up-to-date industry information that informs your education. They bring home the goods to you from being on set, actively auditioning and also Directing. This is the Studio to come to for up-to-date industry informed training in Western Canada. Our well rounded Instructors are working as ACTORS/DIRECTORS/WRITERS/and INSTRUCTORS. Training professional actors in Calgary since 1996 Company of Rogues was established in Vancouver in 1993. How do we compare? Read below.
What Makes Rogues Training Different Than Other Schools?
Our training is rooted in the tradition espoused by the major studios in NYC and other American based institutions. From the teachings of Constantin Stanislavski and his interpretations through Sanford Meisner and Uta Hagen, our focus is on "authentic performance". This is based on the Stanislavski concept of "the actor living the part". Working from the first person, subjective tradition, an actor’s performance is deeply rooted in truthful human behaviour and emotion. This authenticity is the hallmark of many of the great, New York trained American film/stage actors—like Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, Robert DeNiro, Jessica Lange, Faye Dunaway, Diane Keaton, Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Harvey Keitel, to name a few.
At Rogues, we train actors to apply this authentic style of acting to both theatre and film. Our actors have an honesty and raw emotional power not taught by most other actor training programs in Canada that are based in other traditions. While we provide training in all aspects of the craft including Voice, Movement, Scene Study and Shakespeare, setting us apart is our in-depth classes in Meisner Technique and Acting for Film & TV. It is our belief that a well-trained actor can work in all mediums if their work is grounded in the truth of human behaviour and emotion; this is the essence of an "authentic performance style". This is what separates us from other actor training programs.
Point Form Reasons to Choose Rogues
• Customized programs free of academic requirements
• Instructors are working professionals
• Most classes offered evenings & weekends (allows for employment during training)
• Strong ties to the professional Film and Theatre communities in Calgary and Vancouver
• Is represented at Theatre Alberta’s annual EMERGE Auditions
• Actors are actively sought by local/regional agents, casting directors, film makers and theatre companies
• Lifetime Mentorship
• Flexible Payment Plans
Company of Rogues Actors’ Studio provides a positive environment that fosters the development of the individual actor within a supportive ensemble of highly dedicated creative artists.

AUDITION NOTICE: Rel8Shun

Rel8Shun, A two act play that will be making its premier at the Nanaimo Fringe Festival is auditioning for all parts Thursday, March 15 from 6-9 pm at the Scorpio Theater rehearsal space (Top Floor, 331, 41 Avenue NE)

The play will run for six performances in Nanaimo August 16-26, 2012.  Both transportation and accommodation will be provided.  More details will be provided at auditions.  

Rel8Shun deals with same sex sexuality and the fundamental Christian world view towards same sex relationships.  The play also touches on infertility issues and family issues.  It is geared towards an adult audience with largely adult content.  As we are casting one role with a perceived minor (16-20 years old) it is important that this is understood. 

We will be auditioning for the following roles

Jeff : (Male 30’s) – Recently separated from his wife, he moves in with his new roommate Tyson.

Tyson (Male mid 30’s) – Jeff’s roommate, he is Gay and the brother of Chrissy.

Chrissy (Female 16 – young 20) - Jeff’s Sister. Fundamental Catholic.

Li : (Female 25-35)- Jeff’s new love interest.  Lives in the same building as Jeff and Tyson

Clair : (Female 30’s) – Jeff’s ex-wife.

Those auditioning for Clair and Chrissy should prepare a 2 minute dramatic monologue as these two roles deal with very heavy material.  Actors under the age of 18 will need parents’ permission to accept the role of Chrissy. 

All other roles, please prepare a 2 minute monologue of your choice, either dramatic or comedic.

Please bring a headshot and resume to your audition.

Call backs will take place Saturday, March 17 from 10-1.
