analysis, character development and playing for truth. Scenes will be developed

required outside of class time. 6 weeks Instructor Aaron Coates
|ESSENTIALS OF FILM| The fundamentals
of on-camera technique are introduced through scene work and an exploration of
the audition process. The actor works on new sides (scenes) each week, with the
emphasis on crafting an authentic performance for the camera. This six-week
class culminates in a simulated audition. Includes discussion on the business
of acting and related topics. 6 weeks Instructor Joe-Norman Shaw
|SCENE STUDY| The
evolution of a scene from first read to performance. Employing scene analysis,
character development, conflict and behaviour, actors engage in an in-depth
rehearsal process working towards a final performance. Intermediate to Advanced
scene-work is drawn from demanding scripted material to challenge the actor.
This Spring we return to the more
accessible Contemporary Era-- inviting actors to delve into dynamic scenes and
monologues by the greatest playwrights of our time. 12 weeks Instructor

|FILM & TV| Film is
Behaviour. This exploration of film technique inspires potent human behaviour
within the actor; rendering a more compelling performance. A class designed to

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.
Steeped in the New York
Tradition of actor training, we believe that these four core streams provide a
well-rounded foundation for those actors with professional aspirations towards
a career in stage, television and film. While there are many worthwhile
University and College-level training programs, Rogues provides a highly
professional environment free from academic requirements. We believe this
allows total immersion into the development of the actor’s craft and the
authentic style of performance that is the hallmark of the New York Tradition
of actor training.
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.

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.
