Drama Artistic Review Guidelines
+-------------------------------------------------+</p>
<p>Admission into the Department of Drama at Tisch is based on an
evaluation of both your artistic and academic merits. Your artistic review is
done by the Department of Drama and your academic review by NYUs Office
of Undergraduate Admissions. You must complete both the artistic
review and academic application before you will receive notification from
the Admissions office. It is to your advantage to submit your
application material as early as possible. If you have not received an
application, contact the Office of Undergraduate Admissions at 212 998 4500 or
log on to the website at Office</a> of Undergraduate Admissions | New York University.</p>
<p>Each artistic review session will begin with a group orientation in
which you will learn more about the Department of Drama, the training we
offer and the audition process. You will have an opportunity to ask
questions at that time. Individual auditions and portfolio reviews will
begin after the orientation in the order in which the appointments were
made. You will not be given a specific time for your appointment, so
be prepared to stay for the entire artistic review session (up to three
hours).</p>
<p>All applicants are required to bring a rsum of theatre-related
experience and a photograph to the artistic review. A professional headshot is
not necessary. Your evaluator will not accept additional material
beyond the rsum and photo. All monologues and songs must be from
published plays.</p>
<p>It is imperative that you fully research all of the studios associated
with the Department. A Drama Studio Guide is provided at the end of
this email. Once accepted, each student is placed in a studio to
complete two years of primary professional training. In the interview, each
applicant will be asked about his or her own studio preferences, but the
placement decision lies with the Department. Please note that you are
auditioning/interviewing to gain admittance into the Department of
Drama, not a particular studio. We place accepted students in a studio
based on their audition, training, background and interests.</p>
<p>When you made your artistic review appointment, you were asked to
select one of four entrance tracks: Acting, Musical Theatre, Directing or
Technical Production. Each has its own requirements for Artistic Review,
