international theatrical collaborations
The Yale Repertory Theatre, in association with Yale University and the School of Drama, will present a symposium on "Producing Plays in a Foreign Language" Friday, March 21.
The event will be held at 2 p.m. in the New Theater at 1156 Chapel St.
Panelists will include: Cynthia Hedstrom, program director of Arts and Ideas, New Haven; Robert Marx, vice president of The Fan Fox and Leslie R. Samuels Foundation, Inc.; Joseph V. Melillo, executive producer of the Brooklyn Academy of Music; Mary Miller, festival director of Arts and Ideas, New Haven; and Noreen Tomassi, president of Arts International.
The panel will be moderated by Benjamin Mordecai, associate dean at the School of Drama, and hosted by James Bundy, artistic director of the Yale Repertory Theatre and dean of the School of Drama.
"Theater is a unique vehicle for discovering and probing the most immediate and profound questions of our time," says Bundy. "Globalization -- of our security, our economy, and our ideas -- is a permanent feature of our lives. The cultural and geographic borders that at once protect and isolate us are, for both better and worse, no longer impermeable.
"International theatrical collaboration enhances the growth of human understanding: by helping us to recognize our similarities and differences; by engaging us in a dialogue about what the world is; and by allowing us to dream the world as the better place it may become," he notes.
Topics to be addressed include cultural policy in the United States, the need for globalization in the arts, marketing and developing audiences for plays in a foreign language and the logistics of producing a play in a foreign language.
The symposium is open to the public. Those interested in attending should R.S.V.P. via e-mail to amy.smitherman@yale.edu or via telephone at (203) 432-2175. Seating is limited.
