Academic programs

The Bachelor's Degree in Acting explores the craft from every angle the profession demands today: actor training, voice and physical expression; dramaturgy, history, philosophy, critical thinking and performance research; creation, laboratory work and staging; acting for camera, casting and dubbing; stagecraft, cultural management and the tools to understand how a stage project is created, produced and circulated. The curriculum also builds toward directing actors, executive production, entrepreneurship and research applied to the thesis project.

A curriculum to investigate, analyze, create, master different languages of performance, understand the technical resources of the stage and develop professional autonomy.

Contemporary Dance is the backbone of the degree. Around it, classical ballet, jazz, Caribbean rhythms, Mexican folklore and urban dance engage in dialogue with performance, choreographic composition, acting, voice, history, philosophy, critical thinking and research.

The training expands toward the languages and tools that build the contemporary stage: multimedia, space, light, set design and stagecraft; and toward the knowledge needed to develop and sustain projects: cultural management, the creative economy, funding, executive production and pedagogy for dance. The curriculum also includes functional anatomy and kinesiology, music applied to dance, audition management and a progressive choreographic lab process that culminates in the creation and staging of the thesis work.

A curriculum to perform, research, compose and create with technical mastery, critical thinking and a comprehensive understanding of the contemporary stage.

Continuing Studies extends the OKAN Methodology beyond the degree programs. It is a space to specialize, update knowledge, professionalize a practice and discover new applications of stage tools in other fields of knowledge and work.

The offering combines training and professional development for performers; acting, dance, body and voice; philosophy and research in the arts; interdisciplinary creation; film and audiovisual media; martial arts applied to the stage; directing, production and company leadership; pedagogy and teacher training.

It also brings stage knowledge to other professional fields: training for speakers; presence and communication; leadership and teamwork; creativity and soft skills; tools applied to marketing, tourism and services; and preparing students and professionals to present, communicate and defend their projects.

Workshops, labs, courses, intensive programs and diplomas make it possible to build different paths according to each participant's experience, profession and goal. OKAN's agreements and partnerships expand this platform through collaboration with artists, specialists and institutions from other contexts, strengthening the national and international reach of its programs.
