WHAT IS THE APPRENTICE PROGRAM

The Apprentice program is geared towards recreational and pre-professional training in performing arts, both from a production’s front and backend. It is a contract that consist of technique classes in aerials and acrobatics combined with practice sessions. Supplemental benefits and opportunities include membership in RKP's performing team, the Orange County Aerial Arts (OCAA), demonstrations at several popular venues and community events including the OC Fair, Festival of the Arts - Laguna Beach, Newport Beach Film Festival, South Coast Plaza's Festival of Children, Thousand Lights @ Sherman Gardens, OC Fairground's Winterfest and more. The program also prepares the apprentice for a single competition event at the West Coast Aerial Arts Festival.


Additionally, the apprentice learns added skills not offered to regular students, including ground acrobatics, circus arts, contortion, hand manipulation skills, acro-adagio/ acro-gymnastic partnering, and dance movement in many forms.


Lastly, the apprentice gets to have a one-on-one goal oriented discussion with us and undergoes a yearly placement examination to secure academic growth and maturity in the specific discipline/s they have chosen. It is also in this program where the student is prepped for higher education or professional undertakings.
