This study abroad course is not offered at this time. To view a list of our current study abroad offerings, please visit our JanuarySpring Break, and Summer pages. Should you have questions, please send them to steinhardt.global@nyu.edu.

Explore broad questions about theatre and its practice in aesthetic and applied settings. Radical approaches to culturally-responsive and devised work will be considered, especially those shaped by Freire and Boal. You’ll hone a variety of artistic skills that deepen explorations in both formal and applied-theatre settings, particularly in the areas of physical theatre, mask-making, and puppetry. You’ll also explore ways in which these practices enhance the social imagination and catalyze constituents.
