Spanish 240 - FROM PAGE TO STAGE

Topics course. In March of 2012, an initiative that rapidly gained strength was born in Buenos Aires. Recalling the familiar ?men at arms,? the newly created Women at Arts used artistic innovation to launch a debate over issues too often approached on an unequal footing. Mujeres de Artes Tomar dramatizes ideas and projects related to gender, and vivifies the role of women as creators. In Argentina, as well as in Brazil and Mexico, over four hundred participants have begun exploring themes of political, cultural, and social actuality, exploiting art as an instrument of reflection and social transformation. Their goal is to struggle for a tomorrow free from violence and for universal equal rights. The course will move thematically following the group?s calendar of celebrations. Dramatic, musical, visual, and poetic texts will be staged, each with a distinct focus and drawn from various disciplines. No previous acting experience needed. Prerequisite of SPN 220 required.

Topic: Mujeres de Artes Tomar.
