THE STUNT PERFORMER COURSE

The Stunt Performer Course is the world’s finest stunt training program, providing students with an essential assortment of skills and knowledge to those pursuing careers as professional stunt performers or as actors who want to perform their own stunts. Participants will experience 150 hours of instruction by 10 different instructors, each highly skilled in their respective fields. Detailed instruction is provided in the following areas:

FOOT FALLS & ROLLS STAIR FALLS WESTERN COMBAT MARTIAL ARTS WEAPONRY

STUNT DRIVING FIRE BURNS HIGH FALLS AIR RAM MINI TRAMP

WIRE WORK RATCHET RAPPELLING PARKOUR ACTING THE ACTION

Additionally, extensive meetings are conducted to discuss the business side of being a stunt performer. This is one of the most valuable aspects of the training, as students will learn how to get hired and how to effectively advance their careers. These meetings will cover such topics as:

RESUMES JOINING SAG/AFTRA NETWORKING SET PROTOCOLS

As an integral part of the training, portions of the fundamental training are filmed in a "hot set" environment with a camera and monitor utilized to show the participants where they have played the camera successfully and where they need to focus more. This individual critique the students receive on their performance has proven to substantially improve their performance while giving them a perspective of what stunt coordinators are looking for.

Safety is the utmost concern throughout the entire course as students learn to look dangerous without putting themselves or others at undue risk. The Stunt Performer Course is not a casual summer camp environment, nor is it a boot camp. It is a professional-oriented training program intended as a means whereby individuals can explore their potential in a demanding occupation which has its many rewards and, at times, physical risks. While we strive to keep the instruction fun and engaging for the students, self-discipline and a professional attitude are always expected to maintain a safe learning environment.

Interested parties should keep in mind that the training fills to capacity every year. There are a limited number of spaces and the demand for those spaces is increasing annually. Classes become filled by around June 1st. Participants are encouraged to communicate via phone or email as soon as possible to expedite their interest in the training. We urge our international applicants to contact us months in advance of departure to the U.S. so we can help facilitate you entering our country. Enrollment is limited to those individuals who are 18 years and older.
