We believe a true mentor is three things:
- Someone who believes in you more than you believe in yourself
- Someone who cares for you enough to tell you the truth
- Someone who is an expert in his or her field
The Mentorship Programme at Rosebud School of the Arts provides intensive training and experience in various disciplines within the theatre. You prepare for a career in theatre or music by training under the guidance and mentorship of skilled and talented instructors and professional theatre artists.
Specializations
There are four specializations in Mentorship:
Acting – Training in acting with a focus on a career in professional theatre.
Dramatic Arts – Training in a variety of theatrical disciplines with a focus on arts leadership and theatre production.
Music Performance – Training in a variety of musical disciplines with a focus on performance and musical direction.
Technical Theatre – Training in all areas of technical theatre with the option to focus on a specific area.
Study in London and New York
As a Mentorship student, you participate in a two-week international theatre trip to London or New York, alternating each year. The International Theatre Trip offers a global picture of the international theatre community, immerses you in another culture, and broadens your perspective on what is possible in the arts.
Perform for Live Audiences
In Mentorship Level 1, you will produce and perform two shows on the Rosebud Studio Stage under the mentorship of professional directors, designers and production advisors.
In Mentorship Levels 2 and 3, you have the opportunity to apprentice with Rosebud Theatre’s resident professional theatre company. In addition to training under our resident artists, your education is augmented by classes with professional guest artists and master teachers.
Programme Format
Mentorship consists of three levels – 1, 2, and 3 – each level running from September to April. Students in Mentorship often take practicum courses in the summer months, such as performance of a role or assistant stage management, to complete their practicum credits.
Credentials
Graduates of Mentorship Level 1 receive a Diploma in the area of their specialization.
Graduates of Mentorship Level 2 & 3 are welcomed into the Rosebud Guild and receive an F.R.S.A. (Fellow of Rosebud School of the Arts).
