Culture Project
|
Co-coordinator: Donna Truong
Culture Project is the LGS Scholars' initiative based on an Off-Broadway theater "Culture Project" that offers alternative theater plays that address and bring to light the very issues that presently impact our world. Through the pieces it hosts, "Culture Project sparks conversation, lifts the human heart and incites political action," which goes hand in hand with the Levermore Global Scholars Program's goal of initiating conversation concerning the world surrounding us, not only through academics and in the classroom but also culturally using New York City as a medium. This initiative was inspired by the Culture Project play "DAI" that the LGS Scholars saw in Fall 2006. Read more about the play and our impressions.
On February 9, 2008, the Levermore Global Scholars Program brought 20 students to the Culture Project to watch "Betrayed" a highly praised play on Iraqi interpreters who help and work for the United States Intelligence in Iraq, but when targeted by their own Iraqi people as traitors they are ignored and not helped by the United States government. After the play, we went to a nearby pizza shop and had some food while talking about what we thought about the play and how its affected our thoughts on the Iraq war. What was brought up was how little we knew and how much we want to know and do. The play was excellent not only in content and actual issue, but the dialogue, the acting, and the technical production of it was also very good in that it all came together so well and engaged the audience not directly, but in thought.
