We’re excited to welcome Dr. Carrie Sandahl, Director of UIC DHD’s Program on Disability Art, Culture and Humanities, for a virtual talk! They’ll speak from their experience and expertise with disability and theatre to identify some of the most pressing issues in theatre, disability art, and dramaturgy in this cultural moment.
Dr. Sandahl’s talk is a public meeting of a 1-credit think-tank course called “Making Inclusive Theatre: RICHARD III as Disability Art.” This course supports a collaboration between the UIC Disability Cultural Center, the Department of Theatre, Bodies of Work, and Babes with Blades Theatre Company (BWBTC), as BWBTC puts on a production of Shakespeare’s Richard III (scheduled for Fall 2022). Our inquiry is focused around the questions: "What does it mean to do inclusive, disability-culture informed theater? How might a performance speak and even make an argument?" This work is supported by a UIC Creative Activity Award.
