THR 213 - Collective Creation in the Americas

Course unit(s): 1
Meets requirement: W
This course critically analyzes the connections among diverse theories, artistic proposals, and plays and performances based on collaborative processes. From colonizing mindsets to revolutionary movements, and to gestures of resistance against authoritarianism, art imagines a stage for political transformations. Is it possible to trace this active response in theatre theories and practices and, most importantly, to generate collaborative works that reclaim transnational dialogues to imagine new worlds? To what extent is it possible to find artistic voices that intersect personal concerns and socio-political landscapes? Classes incorporate theoretical reflections, collaborative experiences and digital collaborations.
