Digital Archives & Online Resources—Pre-conference Panel—NET Intersection: Ensembles + Universities
Channel: HowlRound Theatre Commons
Date: 28/06/2016

The Network of Ensemble Theaters (NET), in association with Columbia College of Chicago and the League of Chicago Theatres, presents the second event in our multi-year series of national symposia that brings together ensemble artists, practitioners, and educators. This event is livestreaming on the global, commons-based peer-produced HowlRound TV network at howlround.tv on May 20—22. In Twitter, use #howlround and follow @NETEnsembles.

This weekend’s programming has been curated for viewing through six core thematic lenses: 1) art + university + community; 2) navigating the academy/industry relationship; 3) movement + physical theatre approaches; 4) cultural pluralism, equity, diversity, and inclusion; 5) technology + innovation; and 6) place.

With growing interest in ensemble scholarship and pedagogy, and an increase in ensemble artists entering academia, today’s “next generation” artists benefit from earlier, more visible, and more frequent access and exposure to ensemble-based training. These opportunities are now offered through numerous universities, colleges, and community youth organizations (as well as directly through professional ensemble companies themselves).
