Acting for Screen and Stage (Ontario College Diploma)

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 our 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. 

Graduates of the program are eligible to join ACTRA as apprentice members (open to Canadian citizens and permanent residents only), and during level 4 students have the opportunity to meet with a mentor from ACTRA before entering the industry.
