Fourth International Teaching Artist Conference

Members of NYU Steinhardt’s Verbatim Performance Lab (VPL) will engage participants in an examination of how verbatim performance and ethno-acting can be used to disrupt assumptions, biases, and intolerances across a spectrum of political, cultural, and social experiences. Participants will reflect on their consumption of visual and aural information and how that affects their perceptions of the world. The Lab and its work emerged from the success of Her Opponent, a verbatim re-staging of excerpts of the 2016 U.S. Presidential debates with gender-reversed casting.
