The University of Iowa Department of Theatre Arts and Theatre Without Borders invite you to join us for a conversation with the international team that created the Acting Together Project to document and strengthen the contributions of performance and ritual to social justice and conflict transformation. The Acting Together Project was developed through a unique collaboration between scholars affiliated with Brandeis University and the Theatre Without Borders network of global theatre practitioners. This event will celebrate both the 10th Anniversary of the Acting Together Project and the University of Iowa’s new Performing Arts & Social Justice Certificate Program.

The conversation will include: Cynthia Cohen (Director of the Peacebuilding & the Arts Program, Brandeis University); Polly O. Walker (editor of the Acting Together on the World Stage anthologies); Allison Lund (director of the Acting Together on the World Stage documentary); Shahid Nadeem (core-member of Theatre Without Borders, founder Ajoka Theatre, Lahore, Pakistan); Dijana Milosevic (core-member of Theatre Without Borders, director and co-founder, DAH Theater, Belgrade, Serbia); Lisa Schlesinger (University of Iowa Department of Theatre Arts faculty and and founding committee member of the new Performing Arts & Social Justice Certificate).
Moderated by David J. Diamond (core-member of Theatre Without Borders, director of the La MaMa Umbria Symposium), with Jen Shook and Rob Ascher.

This event will take place on Zoom and is free and open to the public. Registration is required. Click here to register for Acting Together on the World Stage.
