Why PS @ NYU?

Performance Studies is the place to delve deep into ones interests with a critical and theoretical study, a place to ask questions and to notice things. What we read, write, think and talk informs profoundly my artistic work, and helps me think critically about the world I inhabit and what world I wish to create with my performances.
