Acting is a passion that requires a great amount of discipline, and learning how to memorize lines is just one of many skills that every great actor must master. While some roles may only have one or two quick lines, for some parts, it could require memorizing close to an entire script. While every actor has their own methods for memorization, there are some tried and true methods for getting lines to stick.
How to Memorize Lines: 6 Simple Tips
For current acting students, alums of NYFA, and actors trying to find their big break, auditions and performing are a normal part of life. But how do they memorize so many lines? Experienced actors like NYFA Guest Speaker Carey Mulligan address that, of course, preparation will vary from role to role. However, there are some best practices to help performers learn how to memorize lines.
Here are some broad go-to tips.
1. Run lines with someone.
One of the most important investments an actor can have is a network of other actors. When it comes to running lines and preparing for a role, this also applies. Running lines with another actor is one of the most well-known methods for memorizing lines. The key is to run lines with someone who is actually an actor— not a friend from down the street. Working with another actor holds both individuals accountable. By allowing them to coach each other and read stage directions, each actor can truly absorb the script.
As an alternative to having a partner to run lines, there’s the app Rehearsal Pro. The app allows users to highlight lines in the app, record other characters’ lines, and use it as a teleprompter.
2. Write your lines out.
Instead of typing out lines, try writing them by hand. This method works well for long scenes with speeches. Writing lines out by hand forces the mind to connect to the action of writing the lines down and seeing the lines. Actors should focus on writing their lines out only. It helps each performer focus on themself without the distraction of other actors’ lines.
NYFA Guest Speaker Kevin Nealon, who has experience in writing and acting, talked about the value of handwritten notes in a recent episode of the Q&A List. During his experience writing for Saturday Night Live, Nealon recalled a time before computers and jotting down notes in the writing room. He also talked about the importance of learning the format of a show and trying a few different approaches when preparing for a standup routine or role.
3. Quiz yourself.
Take things one line at a time, using a scrap piece of paper to cover up everything but one line. Continue to read the same line over and over again. Then, try reciting the line without looking at it. When the line is memorized move on to the next line and start the process over again. While repetitive, practice makes perfect. When preparing for his role in Black Santiago Club, Sèdo Tossou read the script “time and time again.”
Tossou recognized what most experienced actors know: practice makes perfect.
4. Go for a walk or take a nap.
In an article published by “The Chicago Tribune,” Cindy Gold of Northwestern University suggests that after looking at lines, it is helpful to either go for a walk or take a nap. While resting, information just processed moves from short-term memory to long-term recall, making it possible to recall things easier. When walking, exercising muscles helps with memorization. NYFA Acting for Film Alyssa Miller, Forgiven (2021) and Fathers (2022), also encourages aspiring actors to “do the work and have fun.”
5. Use a mnemonic device.
Think of the mnemonic device as a shortcut. A mnemonic device to help actors remember more difficult lines. Try writing down the first letter of every word in the line. Then, look at those letters to help jog the memory of the line. For example, if a line was, “See you later,” a mnemonic device could be:
S
Y
L
The three letters are easier to remember than the specific line, and will likely help trigger the words.
6. Learn the cue lines.
Not only should aspiring and working actors learn their lines, but they should also learn cue lines as well — these are the lines read by one actor that lead into another. By knowing the cue lines, actors will be more prompt and can deliver their lines in a timely fashion. Knowing cue lines is also more professional. In an interview with NYFA, Cinematography alum Charlotte Dobre stressed the importance of professionalism for up-and-coming actors and content creators.
“Professionalism in the entertainment industry is very important. Productions want trained actors (not just talented people), and classes at NYFA were very much like a day on set.”
Charlotte Dobre, from the popular YouTube channel of the same name, used her skills and experience to create her own YouTube channel, recently earning over one million subscribers.
Juneteenth is believed to be the oldest African-American holiday, and its recent federalization speaks to the significance of African American heritage in shaping American history.
Even after the US officially abolished slavery in 1863, the news took more than two years to reach some parts of the country. That’s why every June 19th, we celebrate Juneteenth to commemorate a historic moment in Texas in 1865, when Union soldiers, led by Major General Gordon Granger, landed at Galveston, TX, with news that the war had ended and that enslaved people were now free. Culminating centuries of slave resistance and rebellion, the rise of the abolitionist movement, and a brutal Civil War.
Discovering the True Beauty of Black History Beyond Juneteenth
Beyond this date, however, lie other crucial cultural celebrations that also deserve recognition and honor. This June Nineteenth, take the time to learn more about the many other African American holidays that are a vital part of American history.

He is in for a culture shock when he goes from being the big man in school to being a “crab” or freshman in the school’s band. Inspired by North Carolina A&T, Drumline is a prime example of HBCU culture as a whole. From campus life to the Honda Battle of the Bands, this is a true story of personal growth as well as finding where you truly belong. Devon only finds himself as a person, but he finds his true sound.
Bring It On (2000)
The classic cheerleading film Bring It On (2000) sets up a rivalry between the Toros and the Clovers. It’s revealed early on in the movie that the previous captain from the Toros had been stealing routines and cheers from the Clovers for years.

Bring It! (2014)
Bring It! (2014) follows the Jackson, Mississippi Dancing Dolls as they travel across the country to compete in the Majorette style of dance. Coach and Owner Dianna Williams, better known as Coach Dee, trains her girls to be the best versions of themselves no matter what. From the “Baby Dancing Dolls” to the “Dolls” who are picked for stand battles, the talent speaks for itself. The show follows Dianna, her dancers, and their parents as they compete from state to state, proving why “The Dollhouse ” produces some of the best majorette dancers around. Despite competing head to head with rivals, dancers are always told no matter what place they get, as long as they leave it all on the floor, they should be proud.
The majorette dance style has become a staple for HBCU bands and the culture as a whole. The dancers throw eight counts or “stands” that complement the beauty of the band’s music as well as put on show-stopping performances. Many of the Dancing Dolls have gone on to participate in the HBCU Battle of the Bands as a part of some of the most illustrious bands, like Southern University’s Golden Girls or ASU’s Stingettes.

In relation to photography, ‘point of view’ refers to the position the camera is in when viewing a scene. Are you laying on the ground, looking up at your subject? Are you flying in a helicopter, looking down at the landscape below? Or are you simply standing and looking straight at your subject? Whether you’re looking up, down, or straight on changes the scene dramatically, and changes the way that the viewer interprets the final photograph.
As seen in this photo by Moses Londo, subjects can be dramatically distorted simply by where you place your camera. A blade of grass can look like a skyscraper, and a skyscraper can look like a tiny little house. It all depends on your point of view.
Point of View in Photography: 4 Examples
While a lot of beginners probably take the majority of their photographs straight-on, it can be a good idea to start looking at subjects from different angles. While you probably don’t want to be known as “the photographer who always takes photos while lying down on the ground”, switching up your position every once in a while can lead to very interesting results.
Here are a few examples of a point of view in photography.
Bird’s-eye View
When photographing a subject from above, it is known as a “bird’s-eye view”. This could be taken from up in the sky, such as when flying in a plane, or could simply be taken by standing on a ladder, slightly above your subject. Photographing from this point of view can make viewers feel as though they are superior to the subject – such as a stern father looking down on his misbehaving child – or protective over the subject. If the subject is an inanimate object, it can sometimes make the viewer feel as though there is a separation between them and the subject.
Photographing from a bird’s-eye view can be especially effective if shooting landscapes from a helicopter or with a drone. What seems like normal landscapes from the ground turn into beautiful, abstract works of art when seen from above.
Becoming the Subject
This point of view tends to be the most effective, especially when photographing human subjects. To use this technique, photograph your subject from the point of view of the person interacting with the subject. For instance, if you were to take a shot of someone making dinner, take a photograph of the food as if you were the chef – perhaps even including hands in the foreground for reference.
These sort of images make the viewer feel as though they are experiencing the scene themselves and makes it easy to put themselves in the photographer’s place. An image from this point of view can be captivating, heartwarming, or even slightly disturbing depending on the subjects you decide to photograph.
The beautiful photograph here, taken by NYFA Filmmaking workshop alum Rozette Rago, shows a baker making bagels. When looking at this photograph, you can feel that it could be your hands forming the dough, and imagine how it feels to be in that kitchen. If this photograph was taken from any other perspective, the viewer wouldn’t feel as connected to the image. To see more of Rago’s incredible photos, as well as the source for this image, visit her website.
Eye Level
This is the most common way to photograph a subject. After all, it is typically the way we regard most subjects in our day-to-day lives, especially other people. In the photo below, two-time New York Film Academy (NYFA) Photography and Cinematography Alum Xavier Velasquez demonstrates this skill with an eye-level photo of a skateboard. Velasquez is a Cinematographer, Photographer, Audio Engineer, Sound designer, and veteran.
To see more of his work and get updates on his latest projects, visit his Instagram.
While photographing humans from eye level is fairly common, this approach can also be quite useful in nature. What would happen if you photographed other subjects from eye level, such as an animal? While we interact with people on the same level every day, we hardly get face-to-face with a fox, a bird, or a snake.
Since we often don’t interact with these sorts of subjects at eye level, photographing them from this perspective allows viewers to feel more connected with them – especially if the subject is making direct eye contact with the camera. It evokes a sense of familiarity and empathy, even with animals that we would be frightened to find ourselves face-to-face with in real life.
Worm’s-eye View
Photographing from below is sometimes referred to as a “worm’s-eye view” as if you were a worm looking up at the world around you. As you can imagine, this makes all subjects look very large, even if they are very small in reality. As opposed to images shot from above, subjects presented in this way look as though they hold power over the viewer, and can seem very intimidating. By photographing a subject from a worm’s eye view, you automatically make the viewer feel vulnerable, even if the subject itself isn’t frightening.
In the photograph below, by Cotton Bro Studios, the approach is used to capture the man from a different perspective. It’s one of many images that show the potential of a worm’s eye view shot.
In the photograph of the seat and the man leaning over, you really feel as though you are laying on the ground, looking up at the bottom of his sneakers. Getting down on the ground allows you to see scenes that you wouldn’t ordinarily experience in your everyday life.
Learn New Photography Techniques at NYFA
If you’ve found yourself caught in the slump of always taking photographs from your own point of view, try to switch things up! Climb up on a ladder, lay down on the ground, or get eye-to-eye with subjects you don’t typically see from that angle. The possibilities are endless.

Mermaids have long since fascinated storytellers, with the first mermaid appearing on film in 1904. This film, simply called The Mermaid, was just four minutes long and featured an unnamed actress. Since then, mermaids and merpeople have appeared in hit films and television shows, including the various Peter Pan films, Splash (1984), Mermaids (1990), Aquamarine (2006), Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (2011), Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2015), Aquaman (2018), and even the quirky 2019 drama The Lighthouse. Mermaids have also appeared on television shows such as Fantasy Island (1997), H2O: Just Add Water (2006), Baywatch (1989), and Charmed (1998). Mermaids and merpeople are also the focus of many comic books, graphic novels, and video games.

Of course, the most famous depiction of mermaids is the 1989 Disney film The Little Mermaid, a family-friendly version of the Hans Christian Andersen classic. In 2023, a live-action remake starring Hailey Bailey was released, to the delight of mermaid enthusiasts everywhere.
The Little Mermaid (2023): Learning The Skills to Bring Fantasy Characters to Life
Bringing a dynamic character like Ariel to life in a realistic way is no easy feat. For filmmakers, screenwriters, and producers, a story such as The Little Mermaid requires bringing audiences into a magical, yet convincing world. Learning how to create fantasy worlds and establish strong and charismatic characters is crucial for aspiring storytellers, and can make a huge impact on their growth as visual artists.
The importance of these skills is why many of NYFA’s Screenwriting programs have students complete a range of projects that teach them the essentials of world-building and character development in film. With this experience, filmmakers can create their own dynamic stories, whether it be about a famous mermaid or a character of their own.
Remaking and Reinventing a Classic
The filmmakers behind the 2023 version of The Little Mermaid did an exceptional job at casting and creating a live-action version of Ariel. Alongside the star-studded cast and captivating music, The Little Mermaid truly highlighted the beauty behind a mythical creature many of us grew up to know and love. When it comes to mermaids, Ariel is usually the first character that comes to mind. We think of her beautiful red hair and how she gave her voice to the Sea Witch so she could be a part of the human world. Halle Bailey did a remarkable job of embracing such a beloved character and making audiences absolutely fall in love with Ariel once again.
Many may see this story as your regular “Happily Ever After” story. However, it is so much more. We see more of Ariel’s true reason for wanting more for herself captivated in the new Rob Marshall live-action. One thing about Ariel that always enamored young girls was her determination to go after what she wanted despite what anyone had to say. She did end up finding love along her journey, yet it was her pure curiosity and need for something more that inspired her decision.
The new take on such a beloved character made this new live-action a true masterpiece! From new songs composed by Alan Menken & Lin-Manuel Miranda to revamped classics, we are taken through Ariel’s journey with subtle nods to the original classic written by Hans Christian Andersen.
The Little Mermaid (2023) also brings a familiar voice to the screen. NYFA Musical Theatre alum Audre Louise Beauséjour voices Ariel in the French version of the film. Ariel, Halle, and Audre all emanate the true essence of standing in your power and not allowing the misunderstanding of others to dictate your own dreams.
Diving Into Reality With MerPeople on Netflix (2023)
We also see this drive and determination within the individuals we meet in the Netflix docuseries MerPeople. MerPeople, a four-part documentary series on Netflix, provides insight into mermaid culture like never before. This series shows a behind-the-scenes look at aspiring professional mermaids and merpeople, diving into the history and the billion-dollar industry of mermaids.
Following the stories of everyone from Hannah Fraser, one of the first professional mermaids, to aspiring mermaids, including Brittany Sparkles, The Blixunami, as well as a number of other mermaid influencers, entertainers, and entrepreneurs.
While the world of professional mermaiding may seem like a dream, the docuseries shows a competitive world where performers struggle to make a living from their art. Relying on events such as birthday parties, renaissance festivals, and appearances at aquariums and casinos, MerPeople must be endlessly creative, innovative, and charismatic. Additionally, like any other aspiring performer, MerPeople must find ways to promote themselves and build a following through Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and more.

Merpeople also depend on pageants and competitions, as shown in the series. They must develop and enhance their “mersonality” or merperson personality. This provides an opportunity for each individual to carve out their own unique approach. For some, this includes using materials recovered from the ocean to build their costumes, and for others, it can even involve the creation of their own original song.

MerPeople also has connections to NYFA, as NYFA Photography Instructor Andreanna Seymore served as an Executive Producer. Current NYFA Cinematography student and Photography alum Odinger Mitchell and Photography alums Aashish Chandratreya and Alexandra Schaefer also all worked on the series.
Bringing Stories to Life at NYFA
Many students use their experience at NYFA to learn how to tell their own magical and captivating stories. Whether it’s a documentary film, fictional television show, or graphic novel, the possibilities for telling an engaging story are endless!

It is the challenge and honor of artists to create compelling stories of how history has perceived the lives of those who rocked the proverbial boat. The audience may never have a full understanding of what was without the foggy glasses of our bias and knowledge. Therefore, we place our trust in the artists to present a story of our past. Of the many varied mediums, many audiences are most fond of the emotion and struggle experienced when watching a stage performance; no matter how silly or musically the original topic has been disseminated. Theater brings the people of today and those of the past together for a meal. They break bread and learn about each other by telling stories of their siblings and joyful moments, in addition to the hardships they suffered. Rather than a history book, biographical musicals can help audiences meet real people with emotions and fears.
Biographical Musicals: Bringing Familiar Characters to Life
Musical theatre can present unsettling events to an audience of any age and experience with comprehension. Simply put, a pre-teen girl dressed as Katherine Howard at the previews for SIX: The Musical will be able to enjoy the music and understand the tragic life Howard lived prior to and during her marriage to King Henry VIII. Howard sings “All You Wanna Do,” in which she describes the abuse she suffered at the hands of the men in her life. This topic is hard for adults to discuss, let alone pre-teen girls. However, this young lady will always remember learning about identifying and overcoming trauma, regardless of how upsetting the ending is.
“Of course, we want our students to create characters from the ground up,” says Kristy Cates, NYFA’s Chair of Musical Theatre. “We do that each year in our new works series…but there is also a certain joy and educational benefit in learning how to bring your own spin to familiar characters.”
Many classic tales have been spun and woven from the annals of history, including but not limited to The Sound of Music (1959), 1776 (1969), Assassins (1990), and SIX: The Musical (2021). These stories can be appreciated by any, no matter the age, for a well-spun story draws you in, and you cannot bear to look away. Here is a series of biographical musicals based on real events and why they’re so effective in their approach.
Evita (American Repertory Theatre)
The hit rock opera Evita, featuring memorable songs that include “Buenos Aires” and “Don’t Cry for Me Argentina,” is currently showing at the American Repertory Theatre. Featuring NYFA Musical Theatre alum Ilda Mason, the Tony Award-winning musical tells the story of Eva Perón, the wife of Argentine president Juan Perón.
Once a film starring Madonna, Evita is a powerful show that captures the spirit of one of the most well-known female politicians. Eva Perón was instrumental in passing the women’s suffrage law and was known for her leadership and compassion.

Tickets are available through the end of July at americanrepertorytheater.org.
SIX: The Musical (On Broadway & Touring)
In short, British royal history as performed by the Spice Girls. SIX has won 23 awards in the 2021/2022 season, including the Tony Award for Best Original Score. This highly entertaining take on the six wives of King Henry VIII tells the sordid and tragic tale of each wife from their perspective: “herstory” instead of history. Each Tudor Queen competes for who has the most tragic and painful tale. The soundtrack is a true BOP! You will be humming, singing, and tapping your feet to it for days.

SIX is currently on Broadway and Touring the United States. You can purchase tickets on their website or through TodayTix. If you decide to purchase through TodayTix, you will be able to view sales and plan your day on Broadway for a small discount.
On Your Feet (Touring)
If you have a love for the conga, On Your Feet is the musical for you! This jukebox musical tells the inspiring story of Emilio and Gloria Estefan as they use both their talents and faith in each other to become international superstars. On Your Feet has been critically acclaimed by audience members and reviewers alike. It is no wonder the musical was nominated for the Tony Award for Best Choreography.

If you are an NYFA student, you may be pleased to know that this dance-heavy show includes the incredible 1-Year Musical Theatre Certificate program alum Marina Vidal. Marina is currently performing as an ensemble member of the Broadway cast, as well as the 2022-2023 Broadway National Tour.
Tickets are available from the On Your Feet website for the national tour.
Assassins (Stream Community Theater Productions on YouTube)
Assassins (1990) is a much-loved Steven Sondheim musical. The show itself is tongue in cheek, with catchy songs like “How I Saved Roosevelt” and “Everybody’s Got the Right.” Themes of sacrificing for the greater good, desiring attention, idealism, pain, and desperation may be felt throughout the entire performance. One might even propose that this group of assassins is a community that inspires each generation in their choices, however harmful. Unfortunately, Assassins is not currently being performed on Broadway, but you may be able to see the show at your local community theater or a recording of a community theater production on YouTube.

If you are interested in reading an amazing novel based on the Assassins, read “Assassination Vacation” by Sarah Vowell. Much like the production, you’ll be in for a treat.
Tick, Tick… BOOM! (Stream Film Version on Netflix)
Tick, Tick… Boom! is the semi-autobiographical story of Jonathon Larson (Creator of “RENT”) as he worries about choosing a career in performing arts as an aspiring composer instead of pursuing a job in marketing. On top of all that, Jonathon is terrified of turning 30 because of his lack of achievement (See the song “30/90”). It is simply amazing to watch Larson grow into the composer he would one day become and how relatable a tale can be to your own life’s challenges and dreams.
Image via Backstage
Although a recording of the musical is not available on any streaming service, you can watch the movie adaptation on Netflix.
Parade (Broadway)
Parade explores the story of how Leo Frank and his family were impacted by anti-Semitism at the turn of the century. In 1913, Jewish factory superintendent Frank was falsely accused of assaulting a 13-year-old female employee in Atlanta, GA. He was incarcerated, appealed, and then eventually kidnapped and lynched by a mob of residents from his community. The score is impeccably arranged and manages to tell the tragic story in a new way.
Image via Parade
Of note, the opening night of the 2023 Broadway Revival had some unexpected visitors. Protestors stood outside the theater, harassing the theater attendees and the cast. Ben Platt, who is performing as Leo Frank, made a public video announcement following the protest and stated, “They did us a favor to remind us that this is needed at the moment. And it really galvanized us, and we’re going to focus on telling the story and try to use it as a reminder as to why we’re telling the story.”
Tickets are available on the Parade website and TodayTix.

Performers or aspiring dancers are artists and possess a number of skills. With experience in movement and performance, many dancers are known for their discipline, punctuality, dedication, creativity, and kinesthetic awareness. These traits can easily translate to a number of other creative interests and dance professions, giving aspiring performers even more ways to express themselves.
Dance Professions, Interests, and Passions To Pursue
The world of dance is an ephemeral field. For those passionate about dance and movement, there are a number of ways to continue to hone their craft off-stage.
1. Teaching dance to others.
Those who can do, teach! Performers passionate about dance can teach or volunteer at a studio, in a public school system with the proper qualifications, or in a college dance program with a Master’s degree. Being a dance teacher allows dance enthusiasts to remain active physically while sharing knowledge with others. Performers can also remain creative by choreographing routines for class and performances regularly. Without dance teachers, the field of dance, as we know it today, would not exist!
Many of the NYFA Musical Theatre faculty members are former dancers and performers, including Kristy Cates, the Chair of the Musical Theatre department at NYFA New York. A member of the original Broadway Cast of Wicked, as well as Finding Neverland on Broadway, Kristy is an extremely experienced and passionate performer who uses her expertise and knowledge to work with NYFA’s musical theatre students. In this photo from Broadway World, Kristy is shown debuting her new solo show CHECK YOUR PLAYBILL at 54 Below.
2. Creating dance-related content.
Dancers have been on the other side of the lens many times, and already have an awareness of movement. When dancers take the leap into the photography world, they have an edge and can predict great photo moments or video framing. It could even lead to a bigger passion or interest in photography. Dancers and choreographers, especially, often have a great eye for creating imagery – after all, dance is essentially creating images with their bodies.
That’s why individuals who love to perform and dance are a natural fit for platforms like Instagram and TikTok. Anyone can start their own channel, and get started on the social media outlets right away. This provides a fun way to express love and enthusiasm for dancing and movement.
NYFA Australia alum Nathan Lust has his own TikTok channel dedicated to dancing and has over 4.8 million followers. In many of his TikToks, Lust re-enacts dances from movies and pop culture.
3. Choreographing for local groups and teams.
Many dancers are also choreographers, including iconic performers like George Balanchine, a founder of the New York City Ballet, Jerome Robbins, Crystal Pite, Akram Khan, and many more. Aspiring dancers who want to practice their skills, even more, can volunteer to choreograph for local theater groups, dance, or cheerleading teams.
For more experienced dancers, another option can be seeking out large-scale entertainment companies that may need a choreographer for corporate or commercial work.
4. Volunteering in arts administration for a dance company or theater.
Experience in the dance world gives performers a thorough understanding of the arts in general, and transitioning to a desk job is a good option to stay involved in the field. This is a great option for those who can organize budgetary finances, schedule meetings, rehearsals, or shows, organize fundraisers, and be a support to the artistic director.
5. Doing yoga or Pilates.
Yoga and Pilates are great conditioning supplements for dancers, and the language of dance crosses over well into these hobbies. Dancers who went on to become experts in yoga, such as Tara Stiles, founder of Strala Yoga in New York City, Shiva Rea, founder of Prana Vinyasa Yoga, and Duncan Wong, founder of Yogic Arts, show the breadth of kinesthetic knowledge from dance training translates effectively when teaching these mind-body techniques.
These are great passions for dancers who either wish to continue to dance or transition into a field that may be gentler on their body while allowing them to remain physically active. Shiva Rea, pictured above in an image from Wanderlust, came up with a yoga “Trance Dance” that combined two of her interests.
6. Participating in dance competitions.
Dancers with expertise in specific dances can participate in a number of competitions around the world. NYFA Musical Theatre and Acting workshop alum Joanne Kirsty Clifton won the World Ballroom 6. Photograph or record performances. Showdance Championship, as well as the European Professional Ballroom Championship and World Dancesport Games. Alum Majeste Pearson performed on FOX’s The Four: Battle for Stardom and advanced to the final round of the reality competition.
Ilda Mason, another Musical Theatre alum at NYFA and accomplished performer was also a professional dancer on Dancing with the Stars: Panama.
7. Writing and performing an original show.
Performers are particularly suited to creating their own shows, with a lot of experience on stage. Dancers with an idea for an original story can write and create their own show, with the limit being only as high as their imagination. NYFA Musical Theatre alum Roy Khoury created, starred, and directed his own musical concert “One Night on Broadway.” The show won an award of appreciation in the “Murex D’Or” 2015, and he showcased “One Night on Broadway” at the “Zouk Mikael International Festival.”
8. Making costumes or designing clothing.
Dancers are surrounded by costumes their entire life and know what feels good to practice in. With this advantage, dancers can create costumes, dancewear, or clothing that is designed to be moved in or move well with the body. Learning to sew and create their own costumes could lead to becoming involved in the costume department of a dance company.
9. Trying voice/voiceover work.
A lot of dancers are confident performers. For dancers with voice skills, voiceover work is a great way to explore another method of performance. Audrey-Louise Beauséjour, an NYFA Musical Theatre alum, recently did the voice for the French version of The Little Mermaid (2023), showcasing her incredible singing voice.
Bringing everyone’s favorite mermaid to life is a dream for any performer, and NYFA congratulates Audrey-Louise for all of her hard work! Aspiring voiceover performers can also explore our online workshops in Acting and Musical Theatre, with many teaching skills in voiceover.
10. Singing and performing at events.
A lot of dancers and performers pursue roles at local and/or special events. Miisha Shimizu, a Musical Theatre Conservatory alum, performed in the global, year-long Walt Disney event “Ultimate Princess Celebration.” She sang the Japanese version of “Starting Now.”
11. Getting started in acting.
As confident performers, dancers are also a great fit for acting. Performance skills on stage can translate to on-screen, as many NYFA alum has demonstrated. Mey Novak, a graduate of an NYFA Musical Theatre workshop, acted in the feature filmRiver Runs Red, starring Taye Diggs, John Cusack, and George Lopez.
Exploring Film, Media, and Performing Arts at NYFA
Dancers can take these many of their wonderful qualities to open new doors, build new bridges, and have a successful and happy life full of creative exploration. At NYFA, aspiring visual artists can strengthen their skills in performance and voice in our musical theatre programs, or request more information about our classes in film and media.

If you prefer romantic comedies with a sweet “will they or won’t they” dynamic, high fashion, and Coldplay on the soundtrack, Fleabag might not be your cup of tea. From its opening scene of an awkward late-night hookup, the pilot immediately lets the viewer know it will not pull a punch. Starring Phoebe Waller-Bridge, featured in the upcoming Indiana Jones movie Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, Fleabag is a truly one-of-a-kind show.
Fleabag Analysis: A World in One Character
Based on a one-woman play by its creator/star Waller-Bridge, Fleabag arrived on BBC with a bang, cementing Ms. Waller-Bridge (Crashing) as a major league talent. The show aired for only two six-episode “series” (as BBC seasons are labeled) – all penned by Ms. Waller-Bridge – but its mark on modern half-comedies remains indelible.
Image via NPR
Fleabag is also part of the trend of writers/performers wearing multiple hats on their TV shows, including Atlanta (Donald Glover), Master of None (Aziz Ansari), Ramy(Ramy Youssef), and the murderous Barry(NYFA alum Bill Hader).
Character
It’s rare for a show to be so completely keyed into one character’s mindset and POV, especially when they are never actually called by a proper name. We only know the character is named Fleabag, thanks to the credits. As Phoebe Waller-Bridge explained, “I wanted something that would create an immediate subtext for the character,” she commented, confirming (the character) was effectively nameless. “So, calling her ‘Fleabag,’ calling the show Fleabag, gives the subtext of ‘Fleabaggy-ness.”
The pilot wastes no time throwing us right into the “Fleabaggy-ness” of its main character. It opens with Fleabag prepping for a late-night rendezvous (though the term “rendezvous” is far too elegant for what’s to follow). From there, we get a thumbnail of Fleabag’s life. She owns a café whose only customer uses the free power/internet without ordering an ounce of tea. Fleabag does connect with a lad on the bus, but it’s pretty far from a meet-cute. (Meet odd, maybe.)
Fleabag’s attempt to acquire a business loan goes from bad to worse when she inadvertently flashes the bank manager. Her date with the dentally-impaired gent from the bus quickly crashes and burns. And her drunken visit to her father and stepmother results in an impromptu stealing of an expensive figurine. In short, Fleabag’s life aptly reflects her name.
World Building
The story is set in modern-day Northwest London, a neighborhood that doesn’t scream poverty or wealth. It’s a touch satirical in tone yet feels realistic in its portrayal of Flebag’s life. Her version of a meet-cute on a bus is less of you’re the one and more of you’ll do… for now.
The pilot cuts away to Fleabag’s often comedic interactions with her best friend / café co-owner, only to sucker punch us when we learn that her best friend died. This important backstory is shared in a drunken speech to a cab driver, revealing that Fleabag is a woman deeply entrenched in grief.
Image via Harper’s Bazaar
Perhaps the biggest stylistic hook of the world is Fleabag talking directly to the camera. This device has been used in countless shows and movies, but never quite like this. Even during the previously mentioned fling, Fleabag will talk right to us in the middle of being intimate with a partner. Fleabag NEVER stops letting us into her thoughts, be it with a look, a comedic quip, or a monologue. We are fully entrenched in Fleabag’s mind and soul.
Story Engine
Fleabag has a high-concept creative approach to its material, yet its storylines tend to be low-concept, character-based tales. The pilot establishes several story elements which can be explored for multiple episodes: Fleabag’s complicated relationship with her family, trying to run a business that’s always on the verge of closing down and looking for something resembling love in all the wrong places. (In Fleabag’s second series, she’ll even form an unlikely romantic bond with a “hot priest.”).
Fleabag demonstrates that for a show to be built almost exclusively around one character, that character needs to be FASCINATING. The character of Fleabag is more than a proverbial train wreck who steals from her own father – she’s a lost soul trying to find her way through one hysterically bad decision after another. Maybe we all have a Fleabag inside us.

At the core of filmmaking is the desire to tell a great story. Be it comedy or drama, horror, or fantasy, the filmmaker wants to take the viewer on a journey and somehow impact them along the way. Documentaries are no exception. They can motivate us, inspire us, terrify us, and educate us, all while keeping us thoroughly entertained. With the added ingredient of portraying real-life, non-fiction accounts, a good documentary can put us on the edge of our seats or open our eyes and hearts. Sometimes all at once.
