NYTW’s education initiatives provide access to the
vision and methods of the artist, and enable audiences
of all ages to participate in a community of dynamic learning where the developmental process, the final production, and the surrounding exchange of ideas
have a profound impact on all involved. These initiatives strive to bring all members of our artistic family, which includes our audience members, closer to the creative process.

As we often collaborate with artists whose work takes
risks and challenges theatrical forms, the artistic process at NYTW rarely follows a defined path. Our education initiatives embrace this iconoclastic approach, allowing
us to craft each program and partnership with detail and creativity.

NYTW addresses the needs of different segments of our community while facilitating the dialogue between them.
