I Can Do That (Ages 16+)
Professional Acting for Television and Film 

I Can Do That (ICDT) is The Miracle Project’s on-camera acting program for neurodivergent, disabled, and nondisabled performers. Participants explore acting fundamentals, develop confidence, strengthen communication skills, and learn tools used in television and film.

​

The program is offered in separate groups so each actor can learn at the pace that fits them best.

ICDT-A: Acting Foundations for On-Camera Performance

Thursdays from 3:30 - 4:45 pm PT

 

ICDT-A is a welcoming acting group where participants build foundational skills for on-camera performance. Students explore acting through character work, simple scenes, beginner-friendly script work, guided improv, and introductory on-camera activities. The focus is on confidence, expression, and trying new ideas in a supportive environment.

​

Participants practice reading short scripts, stepping into characters, expressing emotion and intention, and building comfort with being on-camera. It is a collaborative class where each actor can grow at their own pace.

​

In ICDT-A, you will

• Explore acting through character work and short scenes

Why Study Acting at The Miracle Project

I Can Do That offers a uniquely supportive acting environment. Teaching artists create a space where performers of many communication styles, learning profiles, and confidence levels can grow as actors and as people. Instruction is tailored to the ensemble so that every participant experiences progress, connection, and artistic development.

​

TMP also occasionally receives casting calls for film, television, and voiceover roles. Participants from any ICDT group may submit to appropriate opportunities, and teaching artists are available to provide guidance based on each actor’s interests and readiness. Submissions are always optional and centered around what feels best for the participant.
