NYU Tisch will enable students to experience a range of artistic disciplines that support the fundamental premise: studying the arts is central to becoming an educated citizen of the world. An arts program will bridge expression, technology, collaboration, and storytelling in multiple artistic forms (film, drama, dance, photography, etc.). These classes with Dr. Antonio (Associate Arts Professor in the Department of Art and Public Policy, the Interim Chair of the Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music, and the Senior Associate Dean for Strategic Initiatives) facilitate the creative process by asking, “Who am I? - What stories do I have to tell? - Why is my story important to be told? - Why is it important for me to listen to others and the stories that they have to tell?”
