NYTW’s Education Initiatives provide access to the vision and methods of the artist, and enable audiences of all ages to participate in a community of dynamic learning where the developmental process, the inal production and the surrounding exchange of ideas have a profound impact on all involved. These initiatives strive to bring all members of our artistic family, which includes our audience members, closer to the creative process.


As we often collaborate with artists whose work takes risks and challenges theatrical forms, the artistic process at NYTW rarely follows a deined path. Our education initiatives embrace this iconoclastic approach, allowing us to craft each program and partnershipwith detail and creativity.
