THE 264 - BW Theatre at Grafton, 3 credit hours
Prerequisite(s): Sophomore Standing
BW Theatre at Grafton aims to demonstrate the restorative power of theatre and the role theatre has in contributing to a greater sense of social justice. It is an opportunity for students to learn skills that will empower them to lead play-building and devising exercises in a group setting. Through personal storytelling via conversation and interviews with “resident students” (inmates), the leading of theatre games and exercises, the listening of poetry, creative writing, playwriting and play analysis, students will work through every aspect of the generating process of play building. By participating in the development of a piece of theatre along-side men who are living a unique experience, students will gain a broader understanding of the social landscape and what it means to be incarcerated in this country. Through listening and participating in storytelling, “outside students” and “resident students” will develop a mutual respect and understanding for each other’s humanity. The class will culminate into the performance of a devised piece of theatre with the resident students at the Grafton Correctional Institution.
