SUMMARY:A Talk on "Playwriting, Power, and the Personal" by Kristin Idaszak (Playwright)
DESCRIPTION:Department of Design, Art and Performance (Theatre and Performance Studies)
  invites you for a talk on "Playwriting, Power, and the Personal" by Kristi
 n Idaszak.\nAbout the Talk\nTheatre can either uphold or subvert the status
  quo, but it cannot abdicate the political and social context in which it i
 s performed. This craft talk will explore how playwrights can use dramaturg
 ical tools such as dramatic structure, dialogue, and stage directions to cr
 eate complex sociopolitical worlds within their plays and be in conversatio
 n with the real world context in which the audience enters into the work. W
 e will also discuss the roles of personal narrative, vulnerability, and emp
 athy within political storytelling. We will investigate the relationship be
 tween playwriting, power, and worldbuilding by engaging in a short generati
 ve writing exercise. About the Speaker Kristin Idaszak is a Chicago-based, 
 internationally produced playwright whose recent work focuses on climate ch
 ange, gender, and disability. She is a two-time Playwrights’ Center Jerome 
 Fellow and the former Shanke Playwriting Fellow at the Goodman Theatre. Ida
