PREVENTION THROUGH THE ARTS WORKSHOP

In this hands-on workshop, participants will get the chance to experience a taste of what it is like to be an ensemble member of Stony Brook’s Prevention Through the Arts troupe. Beginning with opening up stories relevant to their health and the health of their peers, to “writing on their feet” and performing, participants will experience how theatre can be a vehicle for social and personal change.   

Presented by

Department of Theatre Arts at Stony Brook University

The Department of Theatre Arts at Stony Brook University focuses on the creative energies of our students, providing hands-on opportunities to immerse oneself in all aspects of theatre--from playwriting to focusing lights--through a project-based curriculum.  Departmental productions engage participants and audiences with a range of performances: from Shakespeare to experimental forms of creating new work.  In classes, special workshops, and events, students explore the rich history of the theatre and engage with stellar scholars and artists.  The Stony Brook community expands our interests across disciplines and nations. ​
