Why PS @ NYU?
Performance Studies at NYU is the unofficial department of the neighborhood. We study lots of things voraciously and with as little regard to category as possible, but it all seems to come back to the stuff that a bunch of deep and interesting people – Allan Kaprow, Jonas Mekas, William Parker, Ellen Stewart, Anne Waldman, Samuel R. Delany, John Yau, José Munoz, Diane Di Prima, David Wojnarowicz, Jill Johnston, Yoko Ono, Hettie Jones, Thelonious Monk, Marsha P. Johnson, etc. – were doing and seeing and thinking within a stone’s throw of 721 Broadway.
