It took over a month to get the new instructor assigned and once assigned the staff made me feel like it was my fault that they never told me what was going on. The new instructor was a younger person looking to move on into airline pilot training. The one lesson I had scheduled with him was ruined due to the plane not being returned on time for our flight. I got two laps in the pattern as opposed to my hour of scheduled time. He gleefully told the person who returned it late that it was fine. I was then assigned another instructor who seemed like might be good for me as he was older and seemed to be interested in my plan. unfortunately the plane which had been in the service hanger for several weeks had not been prepared and was short on oil. we spent a half hour getting it ready to fly and I managed one lap in the pattern. to be clear my overall instruction in terms of actual flying time was 3 laps in the patter in over two months. my frustrations mounted to the point where I canceled my lessons with Snohomish Flying Service and am pursuing a different flight school to complete my training.

I'll start off by sharing a positive experience I had at The Studio Seattle, which was getting to…read morelearn from Hailey Henderson. Hailey is as excellent of an instructor as she is an actor. She clearly loves teaching and is incredibly knowledgeable about acting theory and applications. Hailey has high expectations for her learners and is also deeply compassionate, a perfect combination for creating an effective learning environment. I am immensely grateful to have been able to learn with her. Hailey is the primary instructor for The Studio Seattle, whereas Andrew Tsao is the artistic director and founder. Andrew was going to cover the last several weeks of classes in my Acting Foundations 2 class series, and prior to this he co-taught a class with Hailey. In this class, Andrew had us participate in exercises where we would be improvising interactions with a scene partner. These scenes were meant to be highly realistic- we were playing ourselves and had similar relationships to each other as we do in real life. Our objectives and given circumstances were given to us individually, without our scene partner's (or the class's) knowledge. In one scene, Andrew had one of our male classmates play the role of a sexual predator towards not one, but two of our classmates. When his scene partner responded to his unwanted advances authentically, by attempting to distract the perpetrator and leave, Andrew told her that she was responding incorrectly and that should/would in fact "fight". He also told her that her "avoidance" would be a hindrance to her as an actor. In another scene, part of the given circumstances was that one of my classmates had had an abortion. I followed up with Andrew expressing my concern that not one, but two extremely sensitive topics, particularly for women, were chosen for these exercises. I stated that that the nature of the exercises required us to be ourselves, thereby increasing the level of sensitivity and creating a high potentiality for trauma/re-traumatization. I acknowledged that while actors do work with difficult content, we get to choose and consent to this, which was not an option in this situation (since we did not know our scene partner's backgrounds or objectives). I stated my expectation that content will be more thoughtfully chosen for these exercises moving forward and that learners be made more fully aware of their options. Andrew's initial response acknowledged that he could have been more thoughtful in ensuring everyone was aware that they could opt out of the exercises. He did not address my concerns over the nature of the content itself, other than implying that more experienced actors would have been fine with the content (I have since heard from multiple other acting instructors that this is not at all the case). I responded by saying that I appreciated his effort to improve transparency around opting out of exercises moving forward. I again stated my concern over the content itself, particularly as it relates to women, and expressed skepticism that more experienced actors would have been fine with the content. Overall, I felt like my concerns were dismissed. Andrew responded by disinviting me to continue attending classes at The Studio Seattle. Based on my experience, I'm of the opinion that Andrew Tsao is not interested in feedback as it relates to the safety of his students, particularly women. For this reason, I would caution any woman/female person against taking classes at The Studio Seattle.

I still remember, first day, the teachers told us, "You're not going to sleep or have a social life for the next two years." Everyone laughed it off. The people that were still laughing after the first month dropped out. Half made it through. Two students from our class came in 1st and 3rd place in the state-wide AIGA graphic design competition. The program has dramatically changed in some respects with the advent of personal computers and web design. So what qualifies me to write this review now? Because I've gone to portfolio shows since graduating and the program continues to turn out scary good graduates! And what I learned through the program went far beyond graphic design. I gained critical thinking and problem solving skills that I never learned while getting my B.A. degree. And I learned to push myself past my limitations. It was the hardest two years of my life but also the most rewarding. Today, I'm working as a Creative Director/Project Manager at a non-profit and still use all the skills I learned 31 years ago.

Working independently and in small groups on a staggering array of projects, your fellow students contribute to your learning through both organic and formal critique sessions. The professors are industry veterans who bring their experience and passion for all facets of design to the classroom. As a result, employers are impressed by the breadth and depth of my skill-set and which has allowed me to fill multiple team roles in both interactive and more traditional design disciplines. I'll always be thankful to SCCA for creating the foundation that's resulted in a rewarding and fulfilling career doing work I love.
