Study in The Center of Film and Television

The Academy's Hollywood campus is centrally
located in the Los Angeles area. The campus is
built on what was once the south lot of Charlie
Chaplin's studios and is near all the major
television and fi lm studios. It is a modern facility,
with acting studios, and a costume and prop
shop, plus two camera technique studios. Two
movement studios, a vocal production studio
and rehearsal space, and a scene shop are housed
in the adjacent Movement and Vocal Production
Building. The campus also includes a 150-seat
proscenium theatre for full productions.
The library is specially geared for the needs of
the performer. Located in one of the historic
Chaplin Studio bungalows, it holds a computer
lab, a screening room, a comprehensive collection
of books, scripts, musical scores, DVDs, CDs,
video and audio-tapes, plus a wide variety of
reference materials on every aspect of theatre.
And then there's Los Angeles... still the undisputed
entertainment capital of the world. Hollywood
remains the heart and soul of this "industry
town." But L.A. is changing. In addition to major
professional theatres, it is now home to more
small theatres, independent theatre companies
and alternative venues, as well as art galleries,
collectives and museums, than ever before. The
city is transforming itself into one of the most exciting
and vital creative communities in the country.
