- [00:00:00.000]Interdisciplinarity is such
- [00:00:03.000]at the core of what we do
- [00:00:07.208]We're all coming with different practices.
- [00:00:09.250]Some of us have fine arts, painters, sculptures, installation artists.
- [00:00:13.791]Some of us have theater backgrounds, some of us are performers, some of us are
- [00:00:18.375]musicians and play instruments and are really thinking about sound.
- [00:00:23.500]What we do is so many things at once.
- [00:00:26.541]It's really great to be able to do like personal projects,
- [00:00:29.875]but also to be able to have like, professional experience in collaborations.
- [00:00:35.326]Young people getting into music
- [00:00:36.828]have to know
- [00:00:37.746]a lot about what they’re doing
- [00:00:39.205]and all the different processes that are going on
- [00:00:41.875]because the way the world moves today
- [00:00:44.711]is that you are going to be quite likely doing all of it.
- [00:00:50.833]An acting degree prepares you for anything.
- [00:00:53.291]You learn communication skills, you learn organization, time management.
- [00:00:57.125]I think it prepares them for artistic disciplines of all kinds.
- [00:01:01.666]I'm just a fan of pairing
- [00:01:04.875]real world skills with academic
- [00:01:07.541]objectives.
- [00:01:08.583]One should reflect the other and vice versa.
- [00:01:11.905]The nice thing about UNL is that it’s
- [00:01:14.407]big enough that there are all kinds of
- [00:01:16.367]opportunities and resources to draw from
- [00:01:19.579]no matter what kind of project you’re looking at
- [00:01:21.748]and what you’re trying to pursue.
- [00:01:24.292]I love mentoring the students and
- [00:01:27.712]help them get to where they need to be after they graduate.
- [00:01:32.208]Our teachers,
- [00:01:33.208]they all want the best for us and they all want us to succeed.
- [00:01:36.083]They're very encouraging.
- [00:01:37.166]And I think that's what's so cool about art is it's so collaborative.
- [00:01:40.225]What I want the university to be
- [00:01:43.228]is a place where
- [00:01:45.522]young people know that they can come
- [00:01:47.732]and they can completely thrive
- [00:01:50.401]What I love to do is send out musicians that are ready to go on and tackle the world.
- [00:01:56.500]Working with the orchestra and the actors and the lighting and,
- [00:02:01.125]scenic designer, all of those worlds combining just really gives me
- [00:02:04.875]into like, a real glimpse into what I could be doing, professionally.
