Date: 2015-09-11

Nina tells the story of the development of her ‘Project Other’, initially undertaken at Humber College, and then at the National Theatre School, where students are asked to play characters of different ethnic and cultural backgrounds than their own. The complexities of appropriation versus the sensitive portrayal of cultural difference are discussed and practical solutions to thorny issues of representing ‘otherness’ are proposed.
