In this director’s talk, CWRU Humanities in Leadership Learning Series postdoctoral scholar Nicolas Shannon Savard describes how feminist performance practice, queer theory, disability aesthetics and principles of community-engaged art making informed their approach to the design and the collaborative process in this spring’s production of Seahorse. 

The talk offers behind-the-scenes insight into how the cast and crew of Seahorse has worked to bring the story to life in a way that prioritizes inclusion, collaboration, community care, and the well-being of both the artists and audience.

Presented and Recorded on Tuesday, April 4, from 4 to 5 p.m. in the Kelvin Smith Library Dampeer Room (2nd floor).

This event was sponsored by Kelvin Smith Library at Case Western Reserve University, featured as part of the 2023 Cleveland Humanities Festival.
