Seventeen students from majors all over campus came together as a learning community to study, experience, discuss and create Black Theater. For their final projects, students performed scene work and created original performance piece that were staged in multiples sites at the Tang Teaching Museum on December 12, 2017. We called the event – Black Theater Poppin’ at the Tang!
See photos from their final projects here.
Students participated in a dance workshop led by their classmate Celeste Munoz Perez who was inspired by a massive installation – Willie Cole’s “To Get to the Other Side,” a 16-foot chessboard with 32 lawn jockey chess pieces interpreted through a Yoruban worldview. You can view a clip of their improvised performance here.
