Description

Welcome! Please join us for Latinx Shakespeare: A Borderlands Drama Symposium?a day of conversation, workshops, and theater exploring the intersections of Shakespeare and Latinx drama. The symposium brings together scholars, teachers, theater practitioners, and activists to discuss the innovative ways in which Latinx artists are engaging with Shakespeare and how we can teach and perform both Shakespeare and Latinx Drama in innovative, culturally relevant ways. In addition to panels, the symposium will include a keynote by University of Southern California professor Carla Della Gatta, a pedagogy workshop, and a performance by Houston-based playwright Josh Inocéncio. This program is made possible in part by a grant from Humanities Texas, the state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
