Category: TOPICS Instructor: Ash Marinaccio This course is for students passionate about justice and interested in how theatre intersects with socio-political issues. We will study theatre and performance associated with various social movements to learn more about theatre’s participation in social change. Students will analyze case studies, dramatic literature, and social theory to see how these forces influence each other and society. We will read, work with and engage with readings, plays, and case studies to understand how theatre and the performing arts have functioned in times of social and political instability. Students will work individually and as teams to develop theatrical responses to the pressing social justice issues in their communities and the world. Open to ALL students in summer.
