Join us for a e-book discuss with Aaron Landsman, Mallory Catlett and Ebony Noelle Golden discussing their newest publication, The City We Make Together.
In 2009, theatre artist Aaron Landsman was dragged by a good friend to a metropolis council assembly in Portland, Oregon. At first he was bored, however when a citizen dumped trash in entrance of the council so as to present how town wanted cleansing up, he was intrigued. He started attending native authorities conferences throughout the nation, interviewing council members, staffers, activists, and different residents. Out of this investigation, Landsman and director Mallory Catlett developed a participatory theatre piece known as City Council Meeting.
The City We Make Together appears to be like at how we make artwork with communities, how we carry out energy and who will get to play which roles, and the way we would use creativity and rigorous inquiry to have a look at our buildings of democracy anew. Published by University of Iowa Press, 2022.
