SL Shakespeare is proud to continue our academy of Performing Arts in 2008. Taught by working Real Life actors who are also involved in the world of theatre and performing inside Second Life, our classes aim to teach students the acting skills applicable in both Second Life and Real Life. We are interested in aiding individuals with a passion for the theatrical arts to become high quality performers who can compete with their Real Life peers. Second Life is not second rate, and we believe quality begins with proper training.

SLSC Academy of Performing Arts was created by Enniv Zarf with the SL Shakespeare Company. Enniv Zarf was the voice director of both Mini Productions of Hamlet and Twelfth Nighte as well as a solo freestyle improv pianist. He is also currently as an working actor in Los Angeles. He has worked as a principal actor/voice-over talent in commercials for MacDonalds, Verizon, Wal-Mart, Honda, PG&E, Hyundai, Washington Mutual and others. He has appeared as a principal actor on NBC’s Scrubs and Knight Rider and as a voice actor in the 2008 blockbuster Mummy 3: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor plus many more. He has been a recurring guest host as a movie critic on AM1430 in Los Angeles. He is currently a teacher at Active Actors Inc. (http://activeactorsinc.org) in Los Angeles. He also has a Bachelor of Music from the University of Southern California in Piano Performance with minors in both theatre and musical theatre and a Master of Music there in Music Composition.
