Sustainable Staging Techniques (THEA 4111 / THST 5111) at York University – This class will prepare students to tackle issues of sustainability in theatrical and related artistic practice. Students will build their literacy in contemporary sustainable thinking, environmental/climate issues, emerging models of creation, pedagogy, and community stakeholder engagement through a combination of research, modelling and fieldwork as strategic change agents in professional settings.
Every week, we are reading one of the plays to align with our topics for the week’s class.
