Academy Day in New York City:
More than 220 students and 30 plus adults spent a professional development day in New York City on March 28. Each of NINE Academy programs had their own individualized itinerary. Students took advanced workshops at the New York Film Academy taught by professional film artists, master classes in Dance taught by Broadway dancers, and a master class in Auditioning led by a Broadway actor. In addition, they had behind the scenes tours of NBC and CBS news studios; toured exhibits at the MOMA, FIT and Metropolitan Museums; visited professional Photographers at their studios; toured the UN, Koreatown & Chinatown; met with a Broadway Set Designer; visited Graphic Designers at Arnold Worldwide; and saw three different Broadway shows. It was a long, but VERY memorable 24 hour day!
