Festival | A Festival for Theatre and Democracy
A daylong festival of readings from works that perform democratic processes; panels with artists whose practices rehearse and represent democratic ideals; and artist-led workshops that provide tools for creating theater that uplifts, rehearses, and performs democracy. The organizing principle of the festival is that both theatre and democracy depend on dialogue to function. Each of the presentations throughout the day will ask the practitioners and participants to experiment in some way with the notion that an argument performed dialogically before a theatre audience offers the distance, space, and time to hear, contemplate, and see better an issue critical to a community.
