NYU Skirball expands beyond the traditional classroom as students’ sole learning environment. The opportunity for students to have live experiences in our theatre, and to meet and work with artists, provides a practical, experiential component to classroom learning. NYU Skirball’s programming echoes NYU’s distinctly interdisciplinary and globally engaged humanities curriculum, to provide both graduate and undergraduate students with diverse, cutting-edge resources and opportunities for research in their academic careers. NYU Skirball offers the benefits of not only observing as an audience member to world-class and renowned performers from all over the world, but also makes possible opportunities for direct engagement through special events, workshops, class visits, and talks.

Please reach out to J de Leon (Director of Engagement, NYU Skirball) with any questions, and/or regarding opportunities for class visits, rehearsal visits, or other potential collaboration! jmdeleon@nyu.edu
