<p>Patricia Decker spoke to me at length yesterday. My d and I were both comforted and left feeling very excited following the conversation.</p>
<p>Ms. Decker indicated that the new Acting and Music Theater Studio currently being created in-house at Tisch will include an advisory board and faculty with noted names in the business. Our kids will be trained by the best and the brightest, which is why they want Tisch in the first place.</p>
<p>Tisch will have increased opportunities to launch even more full scale plays and musicals, (she called these “fully realized productions”, giving more performance opps to all Tisch drama students. </p>
<p>She guarantees that all the students will gain from increased advanced training opportunities for yrs 3 and 4. She stated that with the new studio, visiting artists can develop their own advanced training programs, based on their own areas of expertise, and these offerings would change depending on who is visiting/teaching for the year.</p>
<p>The training seems to be improving, which is what we want from NYU/Tisch and why our kids want to be there.</p>
<p>It’s all good!</p>
