Get in Character! Acting & Improv

If making it big on Broadway or joining up with SNL is your dream, this class is a great place to get started. London’s famous theater district makes the perfect backdrop for your exploration into the fundamentals of acting and improvisation, learning how to find your motivation, create and resolve conflict, and set up big laughs. Set your inhibitions aside and have fun with exercises that help you get into character, whether you’re driving a drama or delivering a punch line.

Digital Photography*
(Beginner and Advanced)

Digital technology has revolutionized how we take pictures. This hands-on course will introduce you to both the basics of taking great digital pictures and advanced tricks for making them even more creative and compelling. You’ll learn how to crop images, adjust color and contrast, and save your work as a great keepsake of your ACA experience! Whether you hope to shoot fashion models and rock stars, capture images of rare animals in the wild or just want to take good vacation photos, this course is picture perfect! Some studio time outside of regular class is required, and students must supply their own cameras.

Drawing & Painting*

Start scribbling and splattering! Our instructors will work one-on-one with both basic and advanced students in ACA’s trademark small interactive classroom environment. You’ll learn how to use pencils, charcoal sketches  and watercolors to express your creativity and unleash your inner Picasso.

The World of Fashion Design*

This is the city where culture and clothing come together! What better place to see how today’s fashion ideas become tomorrow’s “must-have” trends? You’ll get to peek behind the curtain and the catwalk to learn that the realm of modeling and fashion is not just glitz and glamour. This is big business, and you’ll see the many facets of the fashion industry firsthand on plenty of field trips to fashion hot spots.
