Three years for Life
At Panorama Academy your learning progress is cultivated in tree exiting steps, each providing you with 12 months of new skills, divided into two semesters and preparing you for what’s to come. Every hour is created in a positive atmosphere and in an actors’ environment in which you can feel free, thrive, grow, and dream – whilst pushing your talent towards new horizons.
Acting is giving and getting even more back in reply. Taking part, we expect you to invest your passion, dreams, and professionalism and show courage, discipline and focus. We have room for diversity. We provide studio training, we lead the way to a strong teamwork environment for all our students, and we believe in elevating each other instead of competing. Being an entrepreneur by heart, you will not only raise your own bar, but also the performance of your fellow actors.
The school prides itself on small class sizes allowing for individual attention.
