The UB Arts Collaboratory invites applications from students from all disciplines to be part of a new interdisciplinary experiential class in the Spring semester 2023. We are delighted to announce the Working Artists Lab course: “The Folger Shakespeare Institute Comes to Buffalo! Shakespeare and Buffalo: Questions of Race, Class, and Culture” offered by the UB Arts Collaboratory and the Department of Theatre and Dance.
 
We’d like to extend an invitation for students to join this class and collaborate across disciplines with UB faculty and librarians, students, and community partners including Buffalo’s leading theatre companies, as well as distinguished scholars and professional artists. Interested students are encouraged to complete and submit the attached Spring 2023 Working Artists Lab student application as soon as possible.  Seats are limited.
 
Class will meet on Fridays 2:00 – 4:20pm at the Center for the Arts. Registration is for 3 credit for the undergraduate course or 1-3 credit for the graduate course. No pre-requisites.  Upon acceptance, students will be asked to provide their student number so they can be force- registered into the class. For more see attached call for student applications.
 
This Working Artists Lab course presents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for students from all disciplines to witness, research, create, and participate in the production process of live art, centering on Shakespeare and the city of Buffalo and the questions of race, class, and culture. The class will host visiting artists, scholars, performers, directors, arts managers, theatre companies, archivists, librarians, and educators, affording a wide array of partnerships with our students, leading to the production of artistic and scholarly collaborations. Our course aims to foster a company of artists and scholars with a shared purpose to work and learn together. Come join us!
 
Thank you for your support of the UB Arts Collaboratory and looking forward to engaging collaborations!
