WHY PS @ NYU:
I chose NYU to study Performance Studies because its environment is unlike any other in the world. The department is the perfect mixture of analysis and artistry. The academic rigor is astounding and really transforms your relationship to the world around you. By majoring in Performance Studies, I was able to customize the direction of my degree to incorporate all of my interests. Because the department is so small, professors and advisors really give you the personal attention that is needed to foster educational growth. I love studying Performance Studies at NYU specifically because New York is alive and constantly evolving. Every day, every single person that I see is performing in some way. Being able to question, theorize, and explore their performances throughout my time here has brought me so much joy.
