Mimi Liu, Class of ‘09My reason for picking NYU's Educational Theatre program was simple at first--I love theatre and I've always wanted to teach. After teaching in various settings, I still want to share my love of theatre with young performers. However, the program has opened my eyes to so many theatre careers that involve my newfound passions: physical theatre, directing, producing, dramaturgy, arts marketing, and theatre for young audiences. While I've taken many valuable classes from knowledgeable and respectable artists/professors, some of my best learning experiences have occurred outside of the program with my education and dramaturgy work for the New Victory Theatre, Second Stage Theatre, and Disney on Broadway. My proudest accomplishment is having directed my own full-length physical theatre show for the Theatrix! Play Festival last year. I am a self-trained mime and would love to fulfill my dream of attending a prestigious movement school like Dell'Arte or LeCoq. Outside of my work in theatre, I am actively involved in NYU as a freshman RA, the Vice President of the Ballroom and Latin Dance Team, and an official vlogger of the Steinhardt Video Team.
