Former Performance student, Zachary Fike Hodges, talks about directing as part of the Studio Season:
The energy and skills Fordham students bring to their theatre classes are an inspiration to a teacher.
The high quality of training shows in the students' work, which is of the caliber of a graduate program. In last year's senior showcase, I saw an individual approach to character, which demonstrated great inner depth.
I'm impressed at the diversity of Fordham. There's a variety of types and styles, and ways of thinking. It feeds into a very refreshing, creative energy... And the camaraderie between students in the Theatre Program is inspiring.
