NASA's Duo Off to New York
30 January 2012
Co-founders of the Nicholsons’ Academy of Screen Acting (NASA), former FTI Head Lecturer in Diploma of Screen Acting, Fern Nicholson and former FTI Head Lecturer Diploma of Screen & Media – Digital Production, Wayne Nicholson, have announce they have been invited to teach at the prestigious French Woods, described by the New York Times as ‘the gold standard of theatre camps’.
Dedication to the craft and considerable professional achievements have culminated in the local industry icons being invited to teach at French Woods: Festival of Performing Arts – an elite New York summer camp that caters to the children of America’s most famous and wealthy families.
Notable parents of French Woodites include Will Smith, Jada Pinkett, Forest Whitaker, Steve Buscemi, David Hasselhoff, Carrie Fisher, Magic Johnson, John McEnroe, Jason Alexander, Christian Audigier (fashion designer), Debra Winger, Paul Simon, Paul Stanley, Dave Stewart, Rosanna Arquette and Jon Landau (producer Titanic/Avatar), to name a small few.
News of this opportunity comes at an auspicious time for the Nicholson siblings who this week opened their doors to the wider Australian acting community with the launch of NASA.
Based in Perth Western Australia, NASA is a training academy dedicated to the serious screen actor.
During their time as principal lecturers at The Film & Television Institute (FTI), Fern wrote and developed Perth’s first nationally recognised course for screen actors – the Diploma of Screen Acting.
