| Description | From anti-Apartheid protest theater to D'Lo, from Teatro Campesino to students creating work at Hampshire College and beyond, theater makers have often played a key role in envisioning and embodying social change. What sparks their passion? How do they balance theatrical craft with activist vision? And how can we learn from their successes and from the places in their work that are inconsistent, incomplete, and contradictory? In this course, students read texts, watched videos and on-line work, and led discussions to explore the dynamic, electric, and sometimes explosive relationship between artists and their time. |
