NYTW’s Education Initiatives provide access
to the vision andmethods of the artist, and enable audiences of all ages to participate in a community of dynamic learningwhere the developmental process, the inal production and the surrounding exchange of ideas have a profound impact on all involved. These initiatives strive to bring allmembers of our artistic family,which includes our audience members, closer to the creative process.
Aswe often collaboratewith artistswhose work takes risks and challenges theatrical forms, the artistic process at NYTWrarely follows a deined path. Our education initiatives embrace this iconoclastic approach, allowing us to craft each program and partnershipwith detail and creativity.
