Theatre In The Community: The Newark Collaboration
Course Description
A collaborative theatre-making enterprise in which Drew students team with high school students from the Newark inner city schools to create original work that will be presented both on Drew's campus and at the Marion Bolden Student Center in Newark. Drew students and Newark students will travel to the two sites by turn. Drew participants will both mentor and share in the process of original play development and performance. In addition to the weekly play development workshops with the Newark students, Drew participants will meet frequently on their own to develop strategies for facilitating the work of the full group. A research component studying the historical impact of community-based theaters around the globe, together with a final paper, will also be required of Drew students. At least 4 prior credits of theatre or dance classes required.
