Interdisciplinary Arts 0119 - Directing and Social Justice

This class will explore issues of social justice through theatre and examine the intersection of art and activism. We will explore how to direct theatrical experiences that open up complex discussions on race, class, gender, sexual orientation, among other markers of identity and social location. Through multiple and varied dramatic structures, including but not exclusively narrative and traditional plays, we will create ways of engaging an audience into larger conversations that affect our world.
