The only road you should travel is the one you pave yourself.


One way or another, we all have to find what best fosters the flowering of our humanity in this contemporary life, and dedicate ourselves to that.

Jim Hart was an inspiration to my students. His work is essential for acting process, training, and development.


David Krasner, Head of Acting, Emerson College

Jim Hart’s workshop in our Department energized our students and got them thinking outside of the box about how to create inspiring theater. I admire his entrepreneurial spirit and ability to synthesize many media in his work.


Harley Erdman--Associate Professor of Theater, University of Massachusetts at Amherst

American artist and entrepreneur Jim Hart does more than instruct his students--he inspires. With a refreshing curriculum based on practical experience, Hart’s new program in Austin is sure to produce a new generation of artists equipped to meet the challenges of the 21st century.


Brendan McCall, Director of The International Theatre Academy Norway (TITAN)

Lecturer, Acting Yale School of Drama

James Hart of the Hart Technique talks the talk and walks the walk. He’s a born leader and true visionary. I have no doubt that the Austin Conservatory of Professional Arts will become a benchmark institution for the future of actor and artist training in America. Jim’s credo is one that he passes along to his students: to discover one’s own path - and by doing so, push the boundaries of the status quo into unchartered creative territory.


Chris Henry Coffey--actor and producer
