Education

  • Summer Conservatory 

    • Stella Adler Studio of Acting - New York 

Ariana spent the summer in New York learning the fundamentals of the Stella Adler methodology:

  1. Imagination: An actor's primary tool to create a character's life and the world in which they inhabit

  2. Given Circumstances: Using the script’s context to fuel performance, not personal pain that can lead to unsustainable acting

  3. Action: Playing physical actions - not emotions - to produce authentic emotional results

  4. Between the Lines: Using subtext to inform your characters and decisions

  5. Research: Thoroughly investigating the playwright's world when the play was written

  • Bachelor of Fine Arts Theatre

    • Colorado State University 

Ariana choose to be trained by Colorado State University because of their vision statement: "As theatre makers, we believe in telling stories of our world, speaking truth to power, and rehearsing new possibilities. Our students practice theatre as a powerful force for social change and community engagement. We believe art is the antidote to a dehumanizing world that too often prevents us from seeing each other’s mutual humanity."

  • On Camera Workshop 

    • Jeff Wolf

During her time at Colorado State University, Ariana had the pleasure of working with Mr. Jeff Wolf on how to examine sides and the fundamentals of making a believable self-tape.
