CI-119 SL-Theatre at Work

In this course, students meet community needs by engaging in service-learning outside the classroom. Theatre at Work is an introduction to creative practice using live performance as a problem solving tool in an educational environment. Specifically, students will create a performance piece in response to an issue they have uncovered in collaboration with select groups of students in a host Boston Public School. There will be a special focus on normalizing risk-taking and the learning that comes from false starts and failed ideas. Students will be responsible for creating every aspect of their performance testing its feasibility on a limited budget, ensuring that the content meets established criteria, and successfully implementing and evaluating their success both with their peers and their audience.
