Developing Artists is a place where all the performing arts come together - acting, singing, spoken word, rap, poetry, music, dance - to create.
Students are exposed to fundamental theater arts techniques designed to build confidence, explore self-expression, empower their creative voice and instill professionalism. DA is a safe space where students are encouraged to speak freely.
"Developing Artists is the place that has always allowed me to express myself. Growing up as a young adult in today's world, I feel it is the only place that has taught me that there are no right or wrong answers, that it's okay to spill your milk and cry over it, and that there are other people out there who understand me. Thanks for that!" - Olivia Mandell
All working professionals, create a positive, nurturing and fun environment allowing both beginning and advanced theater students to work creatively as an ensemble. Developing Artists' teachers have worked both on and off-Broadway, in television, film and have taught at the most recognized performing arts institutions.
