Welcome to the NYTW Blog—a resource for behind-the-scenes insights on our productions, share-outs from the classroom penned by teaching artists, community partner spotlights, and a peek behind the curtain to see how work gets made at NYTW.

A New Chapter of Education and Engagement

As the Education & Engagement Associate, and before that as a 2050 Administrative Fellow, I found writing for the NYTW Blog an incredibly inspiring aspect of my time at the Workshop. Creating posts to document the history of Mind the Gap or solo performances at NYTW made me feel proud—they were opportunities to celebrate the work of our intergenerational participants and engage with a legacy of diverse and iconic artists. Interviewing community partners and sharing their stories reminded me of why I love doing what I do. And illustrating the impact of our shows, events, and collaborations affirmed my own long-term interests in theatre: to always make bold, new work that is issue-oriented and community-created.
