We aim to provide opportunities for directors to tell their stories, so that we make a theater that truly reflects the society in which we live; where each artist is considered on his/her merits as an individual; where the stories being told are drawn from authentic and diverse experiences; and where our individual humanity can be celebrated. To this end, the Drama League actively encourages and seeks applications from directors of all communities, especially those that have traditionally been denied equitable opportunities. The Drama League does not and shall not discriminate, and will take affirmative actions to ensure against discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, creed, gender identity, gender expression, age, national origin, ancestry, disability, marital status, sexual orientation, or military status, in any of its activities or operations.

It is the only after-school program in the nation to exclusively focus on the techniques of stage direction as the lens into exploration -- empowering students with creative skills, personal agency and leadership techniques to discover, trust, speak, and amplify their personal voice and vision. Working with professional actors and directors as teachers, the lessons learned during NV/NV can spark future career interest in theatre, film/television, creative industries, or non-artistic professions -- law, medicine, marketing, politics, science, and more -- where the tools are directly applicable and essential. NV/NV is offered at no cost to the student. NV/NV takes place after school at the Drama League Theater Center in Tribeca. PROGRAM NV/NV gives the student the power and ability to critically analyze and respond to multiple perspectives. Through understanding the power of perspective, one can influence and meaningfully impact a community and the world at large. Across ten weeks, students will be in conversation with theatre professionals from Broadway and Off-Broadway, learning techniques and exercises to envision and stage scenes, explore concepts around personal points of view, and attend performances across several cultural practices (visual art, theatre, film, etc.). This immersion broadens and refines their own aesthetics, while "pulling back the curtain" on the realities of a career in the cultural sector. During the final weeks of the program, students begin rehearsing scenes from a play with professional actors under the guidance of a Master Directing Teacher. A workshop presentation of the directorial work of the student body is presented on the last day of class. New Visions/New Voices is made possible by a generous grant from The Leo Shull Foundation for the Arts. PRACTICUM - Meet, Speak and Work with professional directors and directors - Visit art galleries, Off-Broadway, Broadway, etc. - Learn directorial techniques/exercises - Learn about career paths inside (and outside) the arts - Strengthen public speaking skills - Learn time management skills - Learn how to lead a team - Learn techniques on how to manifest/articulate your artistic visions ELIGIBILITY This program is open to all New York City resident high school students across the five boroughs.
