Student Blog: Staying Safe in StudioMarch 12, 2021This stereotype of the “tortured artist” is one that I grew up with as well, and it is one that I do not believe in. I do not think it’s necessary to harm yourself in order to create something meaningful..I am incredibly fortunate to be in a program with teachers I love and admire so much. The acting teachers I have had thus far in my time at ETW have been incredibly emphatic and supportive. I think they have effectively created safe spaces for their students.
