Encompass Collective hosts a five-day intensive for emerging BIPOC actors. Set amidst the beautiful woods at Celebration Barn, this retreat offers students a unique opportunity to develop skills that will help them create a character, embody a story, and sustain a career as an actor. Students will participate in graduate school-level actor training, including movement, voice, scene study, and self-tapes.

Encompass Collective is a community of Global Majority actors trained at the top graduate school programs in the United States who are committed to training the next generation of artists. Learn more at encompasscollectivenyc.com.
