It highlights the KIP System of training for beginning and intermediate acting students. Ardencie Hall-Karambe, Ph.D. formulated the KIP System to expose students to some of the theoretical ideas behind the art of acting and theatre; especially, students who have little or no experience on stage or with live theatre. KIP stands for the kinetic, influential, and psychodynamic training stages that student actors go through to prepare for roles. Students learn tangible ways to think about and to improve upon their craft.
