In addition to a brief survey of the history of the theatre for social change both nationally and globally, this course explores acting as an essential social art, a tool for social change, a channel for personal transformation, and a means of artistic liberation. It explores the connection between the performer’s life (marked by gender, ethnicity, age, and nationality) and the larger community. Prerequisite(s): TH 102, TH 104
