All students will be exposed to basic theater techniques to help with a more physical and introspective approach in preparation for engaging another culture. Students who have signed up for the anthropology credits will study the functions of cultural organizations in fostering and maintaining cultural identity, and how cultural belief systems encompass and or shape health practices. Anthropology students have the option of working with either cultural organizations or HIV/AIDS programs. Students who have signed up for the theater credits will explore multicultural theater making with local theater makers in Suriname,with an emphasis on inter-ethnic and cultural collaboration and exchange. Anthropology students will give a public presentation of their work in Suriname, while theater students will put on a public performance with their Surinamese colleagues. They will also use anthropological research techniques to investigate the role of ethnic identity, affiliation and tradition in theater making as practiced in a multicultural society. Furthermore, all students will participate in cultural workshops, excursions and service projects.For additional information, questions, or to apply, please contact the faculty program leaders:
