March 11, 2008 New Syllabus in CANu: Who's Hungry?
Another syllabus has been added to the CANuniversity collection of resources in community-based art education: "Who's Hungry?" at UCLA.
This special course in UCLA's World Arts & Cultures Department is being taught during Winter Quarter (ends March 21) by artists Dan Froot & Dan Hurlin out of their latest interdisciplinary performance project "Who’s Hungry?" which tells the stories of five diverse individuals living with food insecurity. Students studied local hunger issues and conducted mini-oral-history projects in the community, presenting them in class as toy theater. They also had the opportunity to work with Froot and Hurlin on all phases of the adaptation, design and construction of three larger-scale oral-history/toy-theater works.This is an interesting model for a participatory course with working artists. "Who's Hungry?" opens in West Hollywood's Plummer Park in June.
