PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Each week students have 28 hours of conservatory style coursework in areas such as management, scenery, costumes, lighting, sound, drafting, drawing, and painting. Students will also take a weekly Introduction to New York Theatre seminar with professional actors, directors, designers, stage managers, and faculty as guests.
This year we also tried something new. For three evenings, our P&D students collaborated with students from New Studio on Broadway (NSB) studio by playing a game invented by surrealists game called Exquisite corpse, also known as exquisite cadaver (from the original French term cadavre exquis). It is a method by which a collection of words or images is collectively assembled. Each night there was a theme and the students were divided into teams. See the highlights from those evenings HERE.
Additionally we went on two virtual field trips. First, on Friday July 17, the students visited The Louvre in Paris, France; Dalí’s Theatre-Museum in Figueres, Spain; and Frida Kahlo Museum in Mexico City, Mexico. Then on Friday July 24, the students visited The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Temple of Dendur and did a little site specific design. See the highlights from those evenings HERE.
