Presented as part of the international arts exchange and residency by ONE STEP AT A TIME LIKE THIS, Michole Biancosino, Associate Professor of Theatre, hosts a lunch time conversation with West End and Broadway producer, Richard Jordan. 

What do we mean when we talk about ecodramaturgy? How can we connect the ancient art of dramatic storytelling to our current climate moment?

Join Professor Dan Brayton and members of Australia’s one step at a time like this theatre company for this round table and talk about connections between the work of William Shakespeare and climate.

Sponsored by the Department of English and Department of Theatre, with support by Middlebury Performing Arts Council, Climate Action Program, and The Chocolate Milkshake Fund.

The Johnson Memorial Building’s Exhibition Gallery presents recent works by painter Rebecca Kinkead and poems by Ben Humphries. The pairing of the paintings and poems represents a dialogue between the artists and their reflections/responses to human impacts on the natural habitats of animals and the Earth’s climate.  

Free and open to the public. Opening reception on October 17th from 5-7PM in the Johnson Memorial Building’s mezzanine and exhibition gallery.
