- Climate Justice and Theater Action

Catalog description

An exploration of the ways in which theater can be a vital part of climate justice in the United States. Students will examine the relationships between power, justice and identity through active participation in the biennial Climate Change Theatre Action global event. Students will research, prepare, plan, create, and implement performances for CCTA 2023, per the guidelines of CCTA 2023. The class and its event will be formally registered with CCTA. CCTA is global in scope; this class, as a Bridge class, will focus on climate justice in the United States. Any international play we choose will be directly linked to U.S. concerns and contexts. Methods of inquiry are grounded in praxis, an interweaving of practice and theory, across modalities, including but not limited to critical reading, original research, digital methods, and hands-on theater making.
