Race & Ethnicity in Performance II

This course investigates the use of theatre, performance, and related disciplines for the purposes of pursuing educational equity, commu- nity development, and/or social action. The course will focus on local communities of Asian/Pacific Americans, Black/African Americans, Chicano/Latino/Hispanic Americans, Native Americans, and/or recent immigrant groups, their cross-cultural relationships, and their artistic movements in late 20th and early 21st century performance. Under the direction of the instructor, students will identify a contemporary campus or community issue, collaborate on the development of an original, community-based theatre event, and participate in public performances. Specific readings and topics will adapt to the events and students current to the semester.
