Dr. Andy Teirstein, NYU Tisch Dance Professor, has been teaching in prisons since 2006. He just contributed a chapter to the new edition of the textbook, "Art and Social Interaction: Finding Freedom, Purpose and Joy in Creativity," to be released by Routledge Publishing late spring 2025. His writing describes the experience of teaching in prisons, and the essential role of movement in his class work. You can find the chapter at the below link.
Professor Teirstein also received a NYSCA grant this year for his new opera in progress, entitled Broke.
