THEA 1393 - THEATRE AND THE BLACK LIVES MATTER MOVEMENT

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
We will collectively read contemporary theatrical, political, theoretical and sociological works that engage with race in the United States, Black Lives Matter, white silence, and ally capacity building. Some of us may be just learning how to talk about the above; some of us may live it daily. Theatrical pieces, plays and performance, function as the spine for our work, around which contextual critical and historical works will coalesce. We will also actively engage with journalistic and social media, as well as films, music and dance, both in Pittsburgh and beyond. The reading and viewing materials in the course are inspired by American Theatre Magazine's, Ferguson Theatre Syllabus, and Prof. Frank Leon Roberts, (NYU Gallatin) Black Lives Matter Movement syllabus.
