Experience The Met collection anew as artists working across disciplines—including poetry, theater, painting, and more—respond to works on view in encounters that can only happen at The Met. Join choreographer Tess Dworman as she explores the dynamic relationships between subject and observer in 18th-century paintings of everyday life. Dworman engages improvisational movement, inhabitations of character, and experimental audio description to unpack the power play between performer and audience on and off the canvas.
