CRAFT Courses are FREE courses, classes, and YouTube rebroadcasts that examine what’s happening in our pressing social, cultural, historic realities as it intersects with performance and performance training. Rooted in the long standing movement towards a new way of being and learning together, these are talks that are meant to innovate, educate and expand our practice, reach all factions of society, and are for everyone that identifies with or expresses curiosity about the Diaspora and its history. 

What is the blueprint is for creating art that extends from our cultural sensibility? What is art’s relationship to repair?

IN COLLABORATION WITH DARTMOUTH COLLEGE AND HATTILOO THEATRE:

"The Making of 21st Century Exhibits: Curating a National Black Theater Museum/Institution"

     Dr. Monica White Ndounou | Dartmouth College Department of Theater and the African and African American Studies Program in collaboration with Hattiloo Theatre's National Black Theatre Museum project


"This class provided seventeen students an opportunity to learn about black theatre history, scholarship and practice in the U.S. and abroad. In the process, students helped develop ideas and curated exhibits that represented a range of formats and platforms. The DCAL-funded course was designed and taught by Ndounou in Spring 2019, which included a collaboration with IBTS Executive Committee member, Ekundayo Bandele, the Founder and CEO of Hattiloo Theatre, who conceived and developed the National Black Theatre Museum (NBTM) project in Memphis, TN.  Through the course, the project engaged Dartmouth students in the ever-evolving NBTM curation process.  Other experiential learning opportunities included activities with the local community’s regional black theatre, JAG Productions, and events featuring choreographer Camille A. Brown during her spring 2019 Dartmouth residency[. . .] "
