Just the idea of an artistic review can be overwhelming, scary, and stressful. It’s a big unknown after all — for every high school senior and hopeful grad student in the arts.

At Nothing But Drama, we are here to help reduce the stress and prepare you to navigate the artistic review process with confidence, clarity and enthusiasm!

On top of that, we can guide you through the university application process as well. Applications AND artistic reviews! What fun!

Here’s what we’ll do together:

Get to know your desired programs and schools. Go deep. Read. Learn. Visit. We’ll discuss what you discover.
Sort it all out. What are the dates, deadlines, requirements, guidelines and materials to gather for each school’s application and artistic review processes?
Develop your art. Whether it’s through your work on monologues, songs, instrumental pieces or choreography; a director’s notebook for theater; or portfolios for film, dramatic writing, visual art, architecture, fashion design or theatrical production & design programs, we will help them get to know you.
Develop your voice. Share yourself through the Common App essay, school supplemental essays, activities lists and artist statements. Create a multi-faceted presentation of the artist, student and person you are!

If you are — or you have — a student artist dreaming about studying their art, drop me a line!

Let’s talk about working together!

NOTE: I KEPT this video because it’s got great energy in it!

However, NBD has evolved over the years and we now offer both artistic review AND application support to students in all arts disciplines and at all levels of study.

INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS

Navigating the university or graduate school application process in another country can be challenging — not to mention adding the artistic review process to the whole thing! I happily work with students all over the world who are interested in studying their art at colleges and universities in the United States, the United Kingdom, Europe, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. My students hail from such places as India, Bahrain, Dubai, Turkey, Greece, England, Italy, Switzerland, Brazil, Colombia, Canada and the United States. I hold both domestic and international student meetings using Zoom, a free, user-friendly video conferencing platform.
