That is one of the core ideas behind the Stella Adler technique. I started class today and am supremely excited. I am not going to lie, I was absolutely terrified for the most of the day. And I had to constantly question myself on why I was so nervous. I was already accepted, but I thought that today was going to be a day of judgment and auditioning... again.
I was completely wrong.
Yes we did our monologues, but what I took away from today was that I am going to be working with some of the most interesting people from around the world (literally) from all different backgrounds. I am working with teachers who are unbelievably passionate about their work.
I am a full time conservatory student and this thrills me. I am going to be challenged but nurtured by this great environment. It's exhilarating to know that I will be coming to this place for months.
I am a student at Barnard College of Columbia University but also at the Stella Adler Studio of Acting.
I am one of the luckiest people in the world. Thank you.
