Connecting Art and Community in Florence
Description | The course stems from a triangular collaboration between AEF, the Verso Oklahoma company, and the Montedomini nursing home in Florence. For years, Verso Oklahoma has been dedicated to bringing theater to disadvantaged communities, such as prisons and nursing homes. "Shakespeare in Nursing Homes" is a term-lasting theater workshop in which nursing home residents and young students alike participate, culminating in a site-specific performance based on Shakespeare's plays. AEF students will embark on this journey throughout the semester, participating in the workshop and the production of the show. |
