Tisch’s All Asian Arts Alliance & Anti-Racism Resources

A little more than a year ago, a few classmates of mine and I began discussions revolving around potentially creating a community. A lot of us had met for the first time in a class called “Asian American Theatre”. I remember that day vividly.

The rush of cool air from the air conditioning blew my bangs slightly out of place as I entered that classroom. I looked around, and was amazed to see that the room was filled with chairs, and almost all of those chairs had an Asian student sitting in it. Most of us looked around in amazement, because well… Most of us had no idea that there were this many Asian actors in Drama. That class, almost felt like a safe haven, while also being a learning environment, a mourning place and a place of celebration.

We knew we needed to recreate this feeling, this place, this environment. And so, we formed the All Asian Arts Alliance, a community and a platform for artists of Asian descent at NYU Tisch.

And this summer, we have particularly been focusing on activism and providing resources for our community.
