A.N.T.I. : Artistic Nerds 4 Theatre Inclusivity
CREATIVE ARTS - HUMANITIES / SOCIAL SCIENCES
A.N.T.I. aims to create a theatre company where inclusivity and promoting identity expression are at the focus of our performances.
The vision behind A.N.T.I. is much broader than just providing a performance space to promote inclusivity. We stand to create an atypical platform for performances, allowing for students to create more devised or individual pieces, politically-charged or focused performances, and non-traditional classic theatre productions. From breaking gender roles in casting, to pushing away racial stereotypes, to even developing minority-based perspectives, A.N.T.I. strives to promote what a theatre company for actionable social change to the existing problems within the theatre industry can look like. While our goal for supporting inclusivity is related to many departments and clubs on campus, A.N.T.I. is different because our primary goal is to be inclusive and to create a theatre company on campus that specifically and primarily focuses on promoting the recognition of an individual's artistry, whether it be identity-based, politically-focused, or just artistic expression.
