Ancient Greek Chorus – An International and Local Theatre Collaboration
The development of a theatre piece that will be presented on each of the three campuses upon completion.  Through discussion between the three institutions we have realized that bringing international approaches to creating theatre to North County to expand the range and vocabulary of the theatre we are teaching and creating is an accessible goal that will make our programs stronger and will better serve our students and the region.  

Immediate objectives include the development of a theatre piece based upon the workshop's activity. Embedded within this objective will be exposing students to contemporary European theatre aesthetics and practices which differ from mainstream American theatre.
