Master Class Program is a one-year full-time acting program. The
program is intended to provide the student actor with an intense level
of training under the highest caliber of professional instruction.
Master Class consists of four primary streams of study: Scene Study,
Meisner Technique, Acting for Film &Television, and Voice &
Movement for the Actor.
Located on Calgary’s funky and exciting 17th Avenue Strip, Company of
Rogues is deeply immersed in the vibrant theatre and film communities in
both, Calgary, Alberta and Vancouver, B.C. Our actors are sought after
by local/regional casting directors, filmmakers and theatre companies
alike. Furthermore, at Rogues all our instructors are working
professionals who offer the highest quality of instruction and
mentorship; providing career counseling and guidance even beyond the
term of the program. Our Studio Directors, Christianne Hirt and
Joe-Norman Shaw are available to provide you with more detailed
information through a Master Class Interview.
Actors interested in applying for the Master Class Program should
contact the Studio to arrange an interview and to set up an audition.
Our full-time program runs from early September to the end of June.
Students are accepted into the program through the interview/audition
process during the previous spring and early summer months (
May-July). However, if enrolment permits we occasionally admit students at a later date.
Please submit either a headshot and resume or a photo with an
accompanying letter of interest (detailing any previous experience) via
e-mail or in person to the Studio (
info@corogues.com).
Please include the subject heading “Master Class Audition/Interview”.
Upon receipt of your application we will arrange for an audition and
interview with one of our studio directors.
Master Class Interviews
The Master Class interview process is dedicated to creating a program
that is right for each actor, taking into consideration individual
scheduling needs and previous acting experience. We also offer a
customized payment plan and our flexible scheduling allows students to
remain employed during their training period- a feature unique to our
program. Beyond the one-year full-time program, actors will find
opportunities to continue to train with us on a course-by-course or
session-by-session basis for as long as they choose to call Company of
Rogues their creative home.
Master Class Auditions
For new students applying to the Master Class Program you are
required to audition for one of our studio directors. Auditions consist
of the presentation of one contemporary monologue of your choice, two
minutes in duration. The half-hour audition will consist of the
presentation of your selected piece and a working session with our
director. Please bring in a hardcopy of your headshot and resume or
photo and letter on interest to the audition.
ABOUT US
Rogues was founded in 1993 in Vancouver, B.C. by seasoned working
professionals, Christianne Hirt and Joe-Norman Shaw - who shared a
desire to establish a creative home where actors could explore their
craft in an environment devoted to the highest and most demanding
artistic principles. After Christianne won the lead role of Hannah in
the series Lonesome Dove, the two moved to Calgary where they
re-established Company of Rogues in 1996, continuing their vision to
cultivate a community of first class actors.
We invite you to audit our classes and discover why Company of Rogues is the place to be.
