Take Action Tuesday: Civic Theater Workshop

The Bard Community Arts Collective, in partnership with Bard’s Theater & Performance Department and the Hannah Arendt Center for Democracy, seeks to energize and motivate voters through a revolutionary, audience-immersive civic theater round table event with multidisciplinary artist Aaron Landsman. Landsman's body of work leverages the collective power of community voices, civic engagement, urban design, and storytelling to galvanize audiences around new possible political and civic action. The goal is to inspire and activate voters on the Bard campus and in the surrounding community to engage with the democratic process, learn about the most pressing local and national issues, and grow as active and thoughtful Hudson Valley community members. The evening will also offer information on registration, voting and further ways to get involved

With Ashley Kelly Tata’s class on Theater and Democracy, which considers theater as a rehearsal for engaging in democratic processes, we will use embodiment as a tool for political action and learning. Furthermore, this project will introduce tools for creative civic organizing and action. 

Additionally, this project will explore themes of democracy around the world, seeking to unify the many international perspectives and voices at Bard. Members of the general public in the surrounding community, with an emphasis on youth and new/young voters, are also invited.
