Moderated by Velina Brown, this half-day symposium brings together political theatremakers, playwrights, critics, and pioneers of social justice movements to talk about making the choice be a social and political activist through theatre, and how that expression has transformed in the 21st century. In part one we will convene artists to explore why and how they've choosen to express their political and social values through theatre, and how theatre can contribute to the healing and repair of the world; the second section will convene artists and theatre companies to compare, contrast and draw parallels between 20th century political theatre genres and those being created now—and talk about the impact they have in their communities.
