Diverse Stages with Southwest High School
March 8, 2012–March 10, 2012, 7:00 PM
Pangea World Theater Studio
Calhoun Building 711 West Lake Street, Suite 101 – Minneapolis 55408
Pangea’s Diverse Stages Education Initiative is an exploration of what we call theater. It utilizes the combination of change, challenge and action allowing new forms of theater to emerge. It changes the way that we see and use theater. It puts us in other people’s shoes evolving our attitudes towards those we consider as ‘others.’ It finally allows us to go outside the norm and routine, so that action can be taken in our communities. This permits a safe and stimulating atmosphere to create understanding and positive change for the betterment of the community and human rights.
As part of Diverse Stages, students from Southwest High School were invited to take part in an educational theater production, which let them explore their minds and creativity to make their own original production.
The students are not directed through a play written for them, but are given the opportunity to write, produce, direct, and act in a work they wrote themselves. They are encouraged to not only think freely, but also speak freely. It lets the students ponder over life and the world today.
In the past students have achieved this exploration through heated dialogue, musical performances, silent pantomime and offstage narration.
It allows the Southwest High School students to find their own way through this time in theirs lives in a safe and stimulating environment.
Come see their newest creation March 8-10, 2012 at 7:00pm at Pangea!
Tickets: $10 Adults / $5 Students
