New York City Art and Theatre

This course examines the development of the “Modern” movements in art and theatre at the end of the 19th century, and the impact and influences of the movement into the 21st century. During the spring semester, there will be several preparatory classes and meetings for practical matters such as schedules, assignments, and organizational needs. Preparatory classes will also include introductions to the Modern movement and New York City.
