Actor – NIDA Peter’s class was my first official class when I decided to take the acting path. I was naturally nervous but found that his collaborative teaching style and techniques drawn from Chubbuck and Uta Hagen, got students in class comfortable acting in front of each other and ready to take up challenges. This personally allowed me to get out of my comfort zone and try out character choices that I would’ve otherwise been afraid to use. His exercises allowed me to understand the characters I was playing and those I was responding to in the scenes. That understanding significantly helped me get accepted into NIDA.
