Actors Gym announced the opening of a third studio in Evanston’s Noyes Cultural Arts Center and a new, expanded class curriculum.
The facility will be primarily dedicated to the nine month Professional Training Program’s new Clown concentration, which welcomed its first cohort in September. It will also allow the Gym to expand its curriculum to include a broader range of ground skills, including dance and acting.
By opening the additional space, Actors Gym will be better equipped to meet demand for in-person classes, which resume Monday, Feb. 1. The socially distanced classes will be meeting at reduced capacity with a range of other health and safety measures in place.
Founded in 1995, Actors Gym is a circus and performing-arts training center, led by master teacher and Circus Ring of Fame artist Sylvia Hernandez-DiStasi.
