Cameron Knight

Cameron Knight joins the UNCSA School of Drama after a 20-year stage career at some of the top theatres in the country. He takes advantage of the time he has with students so that they can gain expertise by focusing on the quality of their work over the quantity. 

I work to develop the complete actor - strong rhetorical skills (storytelling), deep emotional truth and superior physical awareness. I work to create the artist that is consistent and formidable.
