<p>We actually toured the Strasberg Studio about ten days ago. The person who gave us the tour is a Tisch alumni. She’s very sweet (her name is Amanda) and if you call her there I am sure she will talk to you personally. She took us all over the building, explained the method and courses, and introduced us to a number of teachers, all of whom seemed friendly. Among their curriculum is ballet, t’ai chi, and Alexander. As for the academics at NYU, we were told in our info session for admitted students that the only academic (aside from theater-academics) class given to Tisch freshmen is a critical writing seminar for Tisch students (i.e., all-Tisch, and designed for students in that school, so the content of the writing is more theater-based.)</p>
