[Cwgrad-announcements] Fwd: Cornerstone Theater Co Methodology Workshop

[Ching-In Chen]

Cornerstone Theater Co. does excellent community-based theater work (which I
got to experience firsthand this past summer).  This sounds like a great
opportunity to learn how they do what they do & apply it to your own theater
work.

Cornerstone Theater Company
*Cornerstone is a multi-ethnic, ensemble-based theater company. We
commission and produce new plays, both original works and contemporary
adaptations of classics, which combine the artistry of professional and
community collaborators. By making theater with and for people of many ages,
cultures and levels of theatrical experience, Cornerstone builds bridges
between and within diverse communities in our home city of Los Angeles and
nationwide.*

*We believe society can flourish only when its members know and respect one
another, and we value theater made in that spirit.  We value art that is
contemporary, community-specific, responsive, multilingual, innovative,
challenging, and joyful.  We value theater that directly reflects the
audience.  We value the artist in everyone.*
