This past summer, Shinji was invited to spend six weeks with the Stella Adler Studio of Acting for their Musical Theatre Intensive. She spent her summer at one of the most prestigious acting studios in the United States studying acting, song, and voice while getting to explore New York City (her birthplace) at the same time. Her instructors included Devanand Janki, Carol Linnea Johnson, and Tony Award Winner BD Wong. Shinji spent her time making new friends, transforming as an artist, and taking advantage of all the city has to offer. Six weeks well spent!
"The actor has to develop his body. The actor has to work on his voice. But the most important thing the actor has to work on is his mind." -Stella Adler
