| Andrew Blasenak |
Andrew Blasenak earned his Ph.D. in Theatre History/Literature/Criticism from The Ohio State University in December 2012. His dissertation Six Companies in Search of Shakespeare: Rehearsal, Performance, and Management Practices by The Oregon Shakespeare Festival, The Stratford Shakespeare Festival, The Royal Shakespeare Company, Shakespeare & Company, Shakespeare’s Globe and The American Shakespeare Center examines how theatre practitioners use a dedication to Shakespeare’s plays and Elizabethan-inspired stages to challenge the artistic and management practices of the commercial theatre. |

| Megan Lewis |
Megan Lewis, Assistant Professor at UMass Amherst, is leading a summer study abroad program this summer based at the National Arts Festival in Grahamstown, South Africa, the second largest theatre festival in the world (outside Edinburgh in Scotland). Students will complete a 3-week online preparatory course before departing for South Africa. After visits to museums and the famous Market Theatre in Johannesburg, students will head to Grahamstown for "ten days of amazing," including seeing new plays and cutting edge international performances that they would not be able to encounter anywhere else; meeting playwrights, actors, artists and other students interested in performance and theatre; and engaging with, and reflecting upon, the historic, sociopolitical, and creative contexts of the work we see. The performing arts will offer students a lens through which to examine questions of social justice, race, class and gender politics, history, language, and memory. Students from any college or university are welcome to participate. For details, please visit www.theatreinafrica.weebly.com. |
