The Process Series inaugurates its 12th season, Crossing Boundaries, with readings of four new plays in translation from Austria, South Korea, Mexico and Italy. Partnering with Department of Dramatic Art and the Mecurian (a journal of new play translations edited by Professor Adam Versényi), we are presenting these translations of contemporary plays as a way of exploring the work of translation as a creative process. The four play readings are presented as a highlight of a four-day conference on international theatrical translations.
All readings will take place in the UNC-Chapel Hill Center for Dramatic Arts, studio 101. They are free and open to the public.

The Process Series; New Works in Development
Comm. 665 in is an arts-based inquiry into the ways in which performance and theatricality structure contemporary politics, culture, and everyday life, as well as the ways in which artists utilize performance as a mode of political engagement. Our Spring 2020 course was taught by Department of Communication Professors Renée Alexander Craft and Joseph Megel in collaboration with international musician, artist, and Andrew W. Mellon Creative Futures Fellow Toshi Reagon. This was the first course in a multi-year collaboration.
