Faculty Q&A:
TOA: When or how did you first realize you wanted to become an actor?
Jorge-Luis: Well, I guess you could say I've always been an actor. I started doing holiday shows with my sister and cousin when I was just seven years old. One Easter my sister directed an original piece called "Flight of The Easter Bunny" for our family, and I wore a stocking stuffed with tissue paper over my head and a white unitard. I'm pretty sure I made my decision to go to NYU Tisch School of the Arts at the age of twelve.
TOA: How would you describe the learning environment at TOA compared to other conservatories?
Jorge-Luis: Inclusive. We have a very diverse student body and our faculty is dedicated to giving them the tools needed to succeed.
TOA: What's your favorite thing about teaching at TOA?
Jorge-Luis: Our students' enthusiasm!
TOA: How would you describe your overall approach to teaching?
Jorge-Luis: Firm but fair. Compassionate and holistic, yet professional and pragmatic.
TOA: What advice would you give to prospective students considering pursuing their degree at ToA?
Jorge-Luis: Be prepared. There are no half measures if you wish to become a "successful" artist. Acting is more than memorizing lines and being emotional.
TOA: How would you describe your experience so far with teaching online courses during the COVID-19 pandemic?
Jorge-Luis: I've actually found the online experience has given me the opportunity to provide more individual attention to my students. To really get to know them on a one on one basis and find how I can best serve them in the this industry.
TOA: Thank you Jorge-Luis for sharing your continuing journey with us!
