BLACK THEATRE SYMPOSIUMSaturday, March 1, 2014. 9:30 am to 10 pm, including workshops, panels, performance
How does Black theatre fit into the framework of our nation’s history and culture? Who are the dominant voices in Black theatre today? What can we expect from Black theatre in the 21st century? This symposium at the Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center will challenge assumptions about the boundaries of race and allow a diverse collective of students, scholars and professionals to engage in a spirited dialogue about the past, present and future of Black theatre. Sessions will include panel discussions, workshops, performances and explorations of the Black theatre canon from the 19th century through the present day.
Registration: $35. Lunch is included in registration fee.
Students: Free tickets available starting 14 February.
