Advanced Training in Creativity, Communication, and Artistic Development

The Program for Professional Artists (PPA) is designed for performers and creative professionals who wish to explore the deeper possibilities of their craft through a systematic and ongoing process of research, training, and self-development.

​

Rooted in the De Fazio System of Creativity and Communication, the program supports artists who seek to work from authenticity, expand their creative capacities, and continue their growth not only as professionals, but as human beings.

​

The De Fazio System

Sometimes referred to as The Poetic Theatre or Toward the Invisible Actor, the De Fazio System is a Taoist and Zen-inspired approach to the performing arts. More than a technique, it is a Way of Work—one that has the potential to transform an artist's creative process, professional practice, and relationship with their audience.

Through this work, participants engage in a lifelong exploration of creativity, presence, communication, and artistic truth.

​

Who Is This Program For?

While originally developed for actors, the PPA has attracted participants from more than twenty-two countries and a wide range of professional disciplines.

The program welcomes:

• Dancers

• Singers

• Writers

• Photographers
