Tisch Special Programs recently hosted two information sessions for prospective students interested in the study abroad programs Shakespeare in Performance at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) in London and Photography: On Location in Havana.
Tisch London program director Mary Jane Walsh and associate director at RADA Geoff Bullen spoke about the actor training students receive during the program and answered questions about living in London. Spring 2016 alumni Emma Romasco, Analisa Gutierrez, and Lachlan Brooks shared their experience in the program, including the stage combat training and certification they received, collaboration with Tisch Screenwriting and Playwriting students, and their presentation of The Tempest.
