(Full Title) Conflict, Passion, Existentialism & Skype: A CyberSeminar of Student Plays in Translation

Date: Thursday, May 6th, 2010 

Location: Thwing Center Meeting Room A at Case Western Reserve Unviersity 

Panelists: John Orlock, Denise Caterinacci, Genevieve Mathieson

The presentation will discuss the classroom approach, technology, challenges and discoveries of a recent experimental videoconferenced collaborative seminar/ workshop involving undergraduate student playwrights and translators and their respective faculty at CWRU and the University of Urbino in Italy. In addition to discussing the students own work, the sessions explored contemporary dramatic literature of both Italy and the United States, along with the art of translation. At the end of the semester, the student plays were show-cased in an International CyberFestival of New Plays: a series of teleconferenced staged-readings of their scripts at CWRU and in Italy in both Italian & English.
