Bard NYC Students Visit Behind the Scenes at The View and The Daily Show
Students at Bard NYC recently attended live tapings of both The Daily Show and The View. Each semester, Steven Couras and Alec Qualitza of the Bard NYC Student Life Office organize a wide range of programs that build community within the residence hall and connect students to the local area. The office plans opportunities for students to attend live tapings of major television programs across New York City, as well as other trips which are designed to help students take full advantage of the city’s rich media landscape, spanning television, film, fashion, music, and the arts, while they study, intern, and live in NYC.
“Attending the live taping of The View was an incredible experience,” said Gabrielle Erawoc, who is attending the Bard NYC program for the spring semester. “As a media minor, I loved watching the stage managers coordinate the whole show. From the lighting to the camera operators, it was a joy watching the coordination and synchronization of the media production. Aside from the exceptional production, it was a breath of fresh air to hear the panel of amazing, diverse women educate the audience on current politics. Overall, it was a fulfilling morning, and it was special to share it with my Bard NYC peers.”
These opportunities allow students to experience being part of a live studio audience and to gain an understanding of what goes into producing major shows. From camera work to stage management, to security and audience coordination, participating Bard NYC students witness firsthand how these productions come to life behind the scenes.
Bard NYC offers unique academic programs for students eager to gain practical work experience in their field of interest in New York City. Students get a head start on their transition from college to career through a transformative semester, year-long, or summer experience, which combines interdisciplinary coursework, a professional internship, and career exploration in one of the most exciting, diverse, and innovative places on Earth.
