The Imaginative Flows of “Shakespeare’s Maritime Dream”: A Conversation About Public Humanities and Performance [virtual]
November 11, 2021 @ 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm
A virtual roundtable, Thursday 11th November 2021, 2:00 pm-3:30 pm EST (6:00pm-7:30pm GMT )
“Shakespeare’s Maritime Dream” is a narrated and filmed public humanities performance piece in development by faculty and students from the University at Buffalo. It supports the efforts of the Buffalo Maritime Center to celebrate our Western New York watershed and Great Lakes heritage. This roundtable—featuring contributions from the literature and theatre professors leading the piece and the senior student participant—documents the evolution of this project as a pedagogical and community response to COVID-19 shutdowns and a positive creative reflection on how Shakespeare’s imaginative and proto-imperial preoccupation with waterways can be channeled into a current civic and place-based ecological understanding.
Speakers: Barbara Bono (State University of New York at Buffalo), Maria S. Horne (State University of New York at Buffalo)
Moderator: Steve Mentz (St. John’s University)
