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.\"
