The Theatre 360: Performance in Practice course “Voice Through Storytelling” presents “Pieces of Love,” a video series of monologues in the style of verbatim theatre. Using techniques employed by theatre artists such as Anna Deavere Smith, David Hare, and Alecky Blythe, students conducted interviews with people with a range of backgrounds, ages, and experiences on the topics of love, hope, and survival. The class considered how exploring someone else’s voice and story influences our understanding and empathy of another person. Available for watching on the Department of Theatre and Drama’s YouTube channel starting Thursday Dec 17 at 7:30 Pm and running through Sunday December 20.
