We design an intensive schedule of courses and
projects in your field of interest, whether it is
writing for film, acting, directing, producing,
editing, digital video/TV or stage production.
 Our program is designed to teach and mentor the
making of vibrant, powerful productions on stage or with
a camera. While there's more money and more jobs in the
storytelling done with a camera, we believe the skills
and experiences of making theater provides an invaluable
foundation. So we teach and do both theater and digital
filmmaking.
You may plan a course of study that suits your needs,
goals and circumstances. You can receive your AA degree
from Shoreline with an emphasis on drama, cinema or
digital filmmaking, and go on to a BA at Washington
State universities under a Direct Transfer Agreement .
Some of our students already have degrees and want
specialized training. In that case, we design an
intensive schedule of courses and projects in your field
of interest whether it is writing for film, acting,
directing, editing, film or stage production. Or you can
take one course at a time.
At the heart of theater and film is acting
collaboration and with other artists and craftspeople.
We need to get people to work with us--and often for
free. How do we inspire ourselves and others? What gets
in the way of exciting collaborations that fly with new
ideas and energy? How do we work with people
effectively? What's our own authentic voice and style?
How do we work with other styles? These issues are
embedded in all the work we do and all the classes we
teach, but are most effectively addressed in the Acting
courses. So, on which ever side of the camera or curtain
you intend to work, it is invaluable to understand the
basics of the craft of acting.
The other two core classes that all students should
take address global performative media--their history,
technologies and range of genres. Both Cinema 201:
Introduction to Cinema and Drama 101: Introduction to
Drama provide critical foundations to understand the
work of film and theater artists and to spark your own
creative visions.
