Lawscapes: Theater and the Anthropocene’ is a collaborative two-day workshop in which participants will focus on entanglements between humans and nonhuman entities. How can theater help us think through and reimagine interspecies relationships -- as well as those between activists, artists and lawmakers? Imagine a court case with whales speaking on their own behalf. Which lawscapes are yet to come? We’d like to invite all participants to co-create theater that speaks to these and related questions.
