Spanish 397P - ST- Latinx Theater Project

The class immerses students in Latinx theatre pedagogies (Boal, Teatro Campesino, the Nuyorican poetry movement, Latina performance art) by having them read the philosophies behind these movements, practice their exercises, and get trained to facilitate the exercises. The class will be made up of both undergraduates at UMass and Latinx high school students. Students of all levels will work together, perform together, and create art together. The goal is understanding and enacting social justice work through theatre. No prior theatre experience is needed. The only pre-requisite in an interest in social justice.
