DLS:NYC Workshops


Audition Workshop
Originally uploaded by offyonder
Today we divided the group of 110 youths into four groups: music, theater, visual arts & dance - and sent them off to various corners of Manhattan to meet with our awesome workshop facilitators. Each of these facilitators are professionals in the corresponding field and they provided a great program for the youth. They spoke on their experience, shared healings and testimonies, and provided practical tips and pointers related to the industry.

The photo is of the Audition Workshop by Peter Link, a notable director. He gave a half hour talk abut the the audition process, then let a few of the students apply what he said. This was a combined activity for the music and theater groups.

The dance group got to choreograph their own dance and the visual arts group toured the Metropolitan Museum of Art, then many went off into Central Park to sketch.

Later that afternoon, we all met up in Bryant Park and walked over to Times Square to check it all out before settling into an amazing performance of The Lion King.
