Why PS @ NYU?

Juhyun Woo has always been interested in the context of drama and the creation of social/cultural meanings through text - stage - audience steps when working in the live theatre production. As she worked with a variety of genres of drama, she realized that there were more steps before the existence of the text. Juhyun thought that she could be able to find what composes the discourse that affects the text of performance via Performance Studies.
