The Revolution Will Be Dramatized: Black Theater Now is a public conversation series organized by the Theater Program at Eugene Lang College of Liberal Arts, The New School. A part of the Lang undergraduate course of the same name, the mission of the series is to introduce students to leading black theater artists, professionals, and practitioners whose work traverses the boundaries of art, politics, and social justice. What is the relationship between black theater and black activism? Moreover, what does it mean to think of black theater as activism? Inspired by the writer Toni Cade Bambara’s famous claim that “the role of the artist is to make the revolution irresistible” this public facing conversation series invites audiences to think about the ways in which theater---and the arts more broadly--- “matter” to the work of social justice.
All events are open to the public via webinar format and require registration. Zoom link will be sent in advance of the event.
