<p>I can’t help much with any insights into the current iteration of the Tisch-Strasberg studio relationship. What I can say is three years ago, DS went to the Tisch Summer High School Program, and did acting there (not MT; that was separate). There were 24 students who were at Strasberg for the program. DS was completely smitten by the studio, and the method technique. He was disappointed when, as an incoming freshman, Strasberg was not a studio option for him. I know several of the students from that last summer at Strasberg; many had indicated that they would return there “on our own” (i.e., after getting their degrees), and continue training there. DS was in that group as well. I’ve not had a chance to talk with him yet since the studio assignment news broke yesterday. I’m curious to know if Strasberg was offered as a transfer track option for advanced studio placement. I think that Strasberg, along with Stella Adler, were the first studios that NYU Tisch formed relationships with for acting (noting CAP21 was for MT). There must be some alumni who can post their Strasberg comments here on CC.</p>
