Tisch Actors' Wellness Program
NYU Drama Therapy has partnered with Tisch Drama to develop a series of workshops focused on stress reduction and capacity building for acting students and professionals. Based in the practice of DvT and led by Dr. Nisha Sajnani with support from NYU drama therapy students, these workshops have taken place at Tisch drama partner studios including the Lee Strasberg Theatre & Film Institute and the Stella Adler Studio of Acting. Major takeaways from the program include cultivating healthier habits, incorporating play and creative expression into self-care, and practicing mindfulness to recenter and appreciate the joy that comes from theater.
