THEATRE INITIATIVE

In the Spring of 2004, three BFA students in the Department of Undergraduate Drama at the Tisch School of the Arts, New York University, asked Dr. Daniel Banks – an internationally known theatre director and faculty member – to help them advance the work they had been doing on their own, outside their training studios and academic classrooms. As the group of students and curricular activities grew, the Hip Hop Theatre Initiative was born – a response to student desire to marry their acting training with their love for and commitment to Hip Hop culture.
