Adelphi University Fall Arts Festival 2021
Resilience, Reflection, Rebuilding Connection: Healing Through the Arts
"What does resilience mean in 2021? What does it mean to rebuild connection? How do we reflect on the past year and heal as a community?With the incoming first-year theatre students, we will explore these questions through an original devised piece to be performed live.This ensemble-based piece will be 15-20 minutes in length and shared outside the front of the Performing Arts Center (PAC) on October 6th at 4:00pm. We hope to see you there to celebrate and share in the Fall Arts Festival with us!"
