A Rubber Room
The Southwest Fine Arts department is proud to announce an artistic partnership between Southwest Theatre and the University of Minnesota Theatre Department. “A Rubber Room” is a site specific performance work about the lives of teachers placed in re-assignment centers known as rubber rooms.
The workshop will perform here at Southwest for 24 hours starting at 7:00 P.M. Friday May 6 and ending at 7:00 P.M. Saturday May 7.
The University’s resident artist and director is the well known and respected Gulgun Kayim. Our school has been chosen to partner with the University’s theatre department because of our well known fostering of smart and sophisticated artistry. She and her students are involved in significant research, and their preparation for this performance work is and has included the interviewing of teachers who have been exiled to these rooms.
This production includes a community conversation scheduled to take place in the days following the performance. Southwest students will be performing with the University actors.
