Dear Colleagues:
I just wanted to let you know that 6 of the 10 profiles in this book describe the work describe theater artists making responding to such issues as land rights, genocide, and war. I would be very interested to hear any reactions to Art and Upheaval to the book as well as your experiences working in communities facing upheaval.
Thanks,
Bill Cleveland
