Macaulay Honors Seminar 1: Arts in New York City

This seminar provides students with an opportunity to experience, appreciate, and critique the wide array of art forms that make up the cultural fabric of New York City. Throughout the semester, we will attend theatre, dance, opera, and art exhibitions as a group. Together, we will explore the means of expression particular to each of these genres and develop ways of describing, evaluating, and questioning these varied cultural experiences while considering both their content and form. In addition to being engaged audience members at these events, you will spend a good deal of time exchanging ideas through in-class conversations, written responses, and other creative means.

This site is the place where you will submit your reflections, ask questions, add comments, and receive feedback from your classmates. You’ll also find pretty much all of the resources that you need for the class including:

* Your syllabus which includes all readings, assignments and important dates

* Instructions for completing and posting your weekly reading assignments
