Iris is an exquisite and captivating stage actor.
For CAA student Iris M., acting has always been a passion of hers. Ever since she was little, she has been involved in plays and has dreamed of becoming a professional actress one day. By being a student at CAA, she has found a place where she can continue to grow her skills, explore her interests, and build meaningful relationships with her peers and professors.
Iris has been a student at CAA since 2020 when her mom helped her research and discover the program online. Iris started off taking classes online, and loved everyone she met so much that she was extremely excited when classes became in person again. She has always enjoyed acting and loved attending theater camp as a kid, making CAA an intriguing opportunity for her to explore more about that world.
One of Iris’s favorite parts of CAA is that students get the chance to continue growing in the classes they really enjoy. CAA allows students to retake classes as many times as they want, allowing them to continue exploring and building skills in areas of interest to them.
Iris enjoys learning new things and developing her acting abilities with the support of her peers and professors. In fact, she loves the relationships she has formed with her professors so much that she continues signing up for the same classes that they teach. Even though the base curriculum stays the same, Iris enjoys how the professors make slight changes to how it is taught.
At CAA, Iris has found more than just a place for her to come and take classes. She has found a community where she can continue learning, building her skills, and connecting with professors and peers that share in her passions.
