Transluscent Borders
Translucent Borders is a three-year exploration of intercultural dialogue, practice and exchange, focusing on the role of dance and music at borders (geographic, cultural, economic). The Translucent Borders Working Group comprises leading choreographers, composers, and other NYU faculty in theater, anthropology and recorded music, and is led by Dr. Andy Teirstein (Arts Professor, Dance). Together with local practitioners and scholars at various NYU Global Network University sites, we will examine ways in which practitioners of dance and music can act as catalysts for mutual change between disparate cultural entities. Project Launch (by invitation only): December 10-11, 2015
