Performance Activism: An Online Revolutionary Conversation with Lois Holzman

April 7-May 9* online class

*Conversation is asynchronous  — participants are in different time zones, and read/post messages according to their own schedule.

The turn to performance (and away from psychology) as a creative response to local and global social problems has grown exponentially since the first Performing the World conference in 2001. Lois Holzman, a founder and chief organizer of Performing the World will lead a discussion on the history of this emergent progressivism and its roots in experimental and educational theatre, performative psychology and the development community that gave rise to Performing the World. Together with her guest, Dan Friedman, a theatre artist, historian, and community organizer, the class will explore the role of performance as a promising new way of engaging social problems.
