How do we attend and attend to theater in the Twin Cities? This seminar introduces non-theater (and potential) majors to the richness of small and mid-sized theater in the Twin Cities, such as Penumbra, Open Eye, and Ten Thousand Things, attending 8-10 performances together. Workshops and discussions with theater professionals will help us to develop critical and creative language to think, write about, and potentially create live performance. We'll think together about how theater might forge a different kind of "commonwealth."
This seminar is taught by Professor Sonja Kuftinec. Sonja has been making and seeing theater for over 40 years - much of it engaged with the question of how theater animates and complicates community. She's worked everywhere from Watts, L.A., to Bosnia, to Israel/Palestine, to a Twin Cities memory care center and 4th grade class asking this question.
