Encouraged by friends of his who wanted to send their children to film school, but found the prices too costly, Sherlock designed a school that was not only affordable, but more importantly, was founded on the principle of learning by doing.
Inspired by the idea that to learn how to make movies, one must actually make movies, Sherlock and his colleagues designed a truly unique curriculum. Blending a mixture of traditional film school instruction with a new approach, the Academy emphasizes coursework based around students actually going out and shooting films as part of their coursework. Students write, produce, direct, and edit their own original films while also serving as crew-members on their fellow classmates’ films to gain extensive on-set experience.		YesThe New York Film Academy is expanding its curriculum as well as its global presence, with five established campuses and many destination programs worldwide. At NYFA campuses in New York City, Los Angeles and South Beach, Miami, campuses students can earn their degree, while at NYFA Gold Coast, Australia, students can immerse themselves in long- and short-term conservatory programs and workshops.

Florida International Universityhttps://theatre.fiu.educgoslin@fiu.edu11200 SW 8th Street; WPAC 131MiamiFlorida33199305-794-3160FIU Theatre is uniquely situated in a major global city distinguished by cultural diversity and a vibrant arts scene. Accredited by the National Association of Schools of Theatre (NAST), the department’s primary purpose is to immerse students in the practical work of theatre production while familiarizing them with world theatre history, criticism, literature, theory, and analysis.
We produce 4-5 plays a year, spanning genres, historical eras, and styles. All of our plays are performed, designed, and built by our talented students and faculty. The plays serve as the laboratories where our students put their learning into practice.
Only 125 majors are selected for our program. This gives our students many opportunities to work on productions and receive one-on-one mentorship from our quality faculty. FIU is the fourth largest university in the country, meaning our students get all of the perks of a large university while enjoying the luxury of a small program.
Our students travel to, and present work at, regional and national conferences like the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival (KCACTF) and the United States Institute for Theatre Technology (USITT), where they are consistently recognized for the quality of their work. Over the past 5 years, 39 students have received 54 awards, including 7 scholarships to attend the national Kennedy Center festival in Washington, DC.
FIU Theatre has firm ties to the South Florida community. We have established relationships with Gablestage, the new Coconut Grove Playhouse, Miami New Drama and Royal Caribbean, to name a few. In the summers, we operate the Greenhouse and our Summer Camp. The Greenhouse is a new play development initiative where three local professional playwrights for one week intensive residences to workshop and revise a draft of a full-length play. Our summer camp gives children ages 6-12 the opportunity to explore their creative side, develop valuable social skills, and boost their confidence.		BA – Theatre; BFA – Musical Theatre; BFA – Acting; BFA – Design (Costume, Scenic or Lighting)In 1965, Florida Senator Robert M. Haverfield introduced Senate Bill 711, which instructed the state Board of Education and the Board of Regents (BOR) to begin planning for the development of a state university in Miami.
An abandoned airfield is an unusual place for the birth of a university. But in the summer of 1969, founding FIU president Chuck Perry gathered three leaders who would help him create his vision.
Butler Waugh, Donald McDowell and Nick Sileo joined the 31-year-old Perry at Tamiami Airport and set up shop in the former air traffic controllers’ tower. The tower had no phones, no drinkable water and no furniture. President Perry decided that the control tower should never be destroyed and so it remains standing today at the center of campus, as FIU’s Ivory Tower.
From that single building on that abandoned airfield, FIU has grown to be one of the largest universities in the country. The spirit of entrepreneurship born on that summer day thrives at today’s FIU.
