GET TO KNOW NYU SKIRBALL

A stage for creators who disturb the peace and a platform for the ideas that follow.

NYU SKIRBALL’S STORY

NEW YORK CITY’S HOME FOR CUTTING-EDGE PERFORMANCE, ARTISTIC RESEARCH + DISCOURSE

NYU Skirball holds close James Baldwin’s dictum that “artists are here to disturb the peace.”

Our mission is to present adventuresome, transdisciplinary work that inspires yet frustrates, confirms yet confounds, entertains yet upends. We proudly embrace renegade artists who surprise, productions that blur aesthetic boundaries, and thought leaders who are courageous, outrageous, and mind-blowing.

We are NYU’s largest classroom. We want to feed your head.
