Build the Portfolio You Need.

Portfolio Development provides individualized guidance for artists and theatrical designers who are preparing a portfolio for college or program applications, competitions, International Thespian events, internships, exhibitions, or other artistic opportunities.

Unlike a one-time Portfolio Review, Portfolio Development is an ongoing Private Study. Students work individually with an instructor to identify the requirements and goals of their portfolio, evaluate their existing work, determine what may be missing, and develop a plan for strengthening the overall body of work.

Sessions may include:

  • Reviewing portfolio or submission requirements

  • Evaluating existing work

  • Identifying strengths and gaps

  • Selecting pieces for inclusion

  • Planning new portfolio pieces

  • Developing sketches, studies, or concepts

  • Receiving instruction while creating new work

  • Revising and refining existing pieces

  • Strengthening technical skills where needed

  • Documenting artistic or design process

  • Organizing and sequencing the portfolio

  • Preparing presentation or design boards

  • Developing technical theatre portfolio materials

  • Preparing work for digital presentation or submission

  • Final portfolio review and refinement

*In-person Portfolio Development is $50 per hour. Standard studio materials used during instruction are included. Specialized materials, portfolio presentation materials, printing, or supplies required for an individual student's portfolio are not included.
