Film

<p>How is the film program at Barnard?
Are there many opportunities to act on on/off campus?</p>

<p>I don't know how they do it, but in my year and a half at Barnard I've heard of several students acting in off-campus theatre productions. I'm not sure about film, but I imagine it's been done and you could do it. The film program at Barnard is pretty small I think. You can read about it at <a href="http://www.barnard.edu/film%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.barnard.edu/film&lt;/a>
And there are a TON of on-campus productions. A ton. So many going on all at the same time. There's also Columbia Television (CTV) which produces news shows and a soap opera and probably other things. And I bet there's a filmmaking society.</p>

<p>You also have the opportunity in NYC to attend open call auditions for various types of productions, from Broadway to regional theatre. My d actually got a summer job in a production in PA last year. She has also auditioned for A Chorus Line and Wicked...mostly for the experience and opportunity to learn some great choreography. She is not a theater or dance major...</p>

<p>are the productions easy to find or do you have to search for them?
also, can you audition for movies?</p>

<p>check out playbill.com for free audition notices. I believe there are also video/movie notices posted there. </p>

<p>Look on the left side of the page for jobs listings....just check periodically.</p>
