(Posted March 2, 2021)
The Austin Peay State University Department of Theatre and Dance, with the support of the Center of Excellence for the Creative Arts, is pleased to present two masterclasses today, one of which will explore anti-racist practices in theatre.
鈥淒irecting鈥 and 鈥淎nti-Racist Theatre鈥 will be hosted by Jeff Award-winning Chicago actor, director and activist Wardell Julius Clark. 鈥淒irecting鈥 will be at 11 a.m., and 鈥淎nti-Racist Theatre鈥 will be at 6 p.m.
鈥淲ardell will be talking about anti-racist theatre practices and how we can actually back up what we say we do,鈥 said Talon Beeson, associate professor of acting and directing at Austin Peay.
鈥淢y hope is through the anti-racist workshop that we can get students to start thinking about it not just as something to talk about but something to actively do, and to recognize what needs to change in the theatre,鈥 Beeson said. 鈥淚 hope they can take this workshop and have it be the starting place for them to keep working.鈥
The classes are free and open to the public.
