Be a performer on the world stage
Performers adorn the glamorous center stages of the entertainment industry. There are many types of performers such as dancers, singers, actors and voice actors.The curriculum of the Performer Course is established as global standards aiming to develop talent who can perform on the international stage. Abilities required for dancing, singing, acting and voice acting are all closely related. For example, many current voice actors are required to also have acting and singing skills. Therefore, our curriculum aims to first obtain all the basic skills and then improve upon the student’s individual specialized field. Our dance program is supervised by Hinton Battle, a Broadway legend with 3 Tony Awards. As for the vocal training program, we are the first Japanese educational institution to introduce the EVT-Estill Voice Training* program. Our acting program includes a wide range of acting training with cooperation from Hollywood actor Masi Oka. The voice acting program includes a practical curriculum from voice director Yukio Nagasaki who has extensive experience in teaching voice acting.
* EVT- Estill Voice Training™ is a science-based voice training method established by Jo Estill in 1988. This innovative method advocated by many performers around the world enables skilled control of your voice. Singers from over 500 companies worldwide who perform at venues such as Madison Square Garden and the Sydney Opera House (or any other theatres in famous theatrical districts including Broadway and Covent Garden) have learned this method, which is also introduced at institutions of higher education worldwide.
