Part of the Class of 2020 MA in Applied Theatre Thesis Presentations.
Presenters: Susanna Brock, Yusi Gao, and Helio Sepulveda
Immigrants Susanna Brock, Yusi Gao, and Helio Sepulveda developed a 7 session residency for adult immigrants learning English at a community-based organization in Brooklyn. The project explored language expansion using applied theatre techniques, including storytelling, playbuilding, and Theatre in Education (TIE). This journey of arts integration in the language classroom offered an opportunity for participants to celebrate their identities, interrogate the world around them, and explore ways to advocate for themselves and their community.
