Theatre in the Streets: Community, Creative Expression, Carnival!

Black Theatre Initiative’s Webinar Series 2020–2021

Join us as we explore what happens when theatrical performance moves beyond the building and into the streets, when theatre grows out of a community need for performance. Examine the migration and evolution of Carnival, as the traditions and rituals of celebration and community uplift self-expression and agency. Consider the impact of costume, mask, movement, and improvisation as agents of transformation through performance art… becoming a statement of community.
