Spring 2023 Featured Course:
In this course we will be looking at migration stories and using them to create an original, collective creation project for presentation to Cornell and the Ithaca communities.
Students will be working to create a full-scale production to be shared with the public in the Black Box Theatre of PMA in May 2023. We will be exploring recent plays related to migrant caravans, as points of departure for the creation of original work by the class members dealing with this urgent situation. We will explore styles and genres like story circle methodology, Teatro Campesino’s actos, Boalian forum theatre, and documentary theatre. All students in the course are involved in some aspects of production; and all will write a final reflective paper as a course requirement. Debra Castillo and Juan Manuel Aldape. M-W 1:00-2:15 pm. 1-3 credits. This course fulfills Humanities distribution for the LSP undergraduate minor.
