Mal Malone

“When I enrolled as a classical performance major, I thought that I had to pigeon-hole myself into playing orchestral music in order to be successful, which wasn’t very fulfilling for me. When I started to explore other concentrations such as jazz and composition, I truly started to feel like I was finding myself as a musician.”

– Mal Malone, MM ’24

Tim DeKay

Mason Gross “taught me…not to think. Don’t think; do what you feel. Be honest, open, truthful.”

– Tim DeKay, Acting MFA ’90

Kyle Marshall

“The training is strong in a conservatory. You’re getting vigorous, dense, consistent training, which is good because you have to get your body and spirit ready to be out there. All of the companies in New York have at least one Rutgers alumnus. There are Rutgers dancers on TV in ‘Glow,’ working on Broadway, on cruise ships and even Goldman Sachs. That is unique.”

– Kyle Marshall, Dance BFA ’11
