001 - Getting Scrappy with Dani Snyder-Young

Dani Snyder-Young is an Assistant Professor of Theatre at Northeastern University. Dani is brilliant, funny, and one of the most infectiously optimistic people you could ever meet. She’s an author and scholar of theatre and social change.

In this episode:

• Why scrappy theater majors will guide us through the pandemic

• How artists will hack Zoom to make it an artistic platform

• Why some large arts orgs may float through this time unchanged, but small and mid-size groups will carry the torch of change forward

Her most recent book, Privileged Spectatorship: Theatrical Interventions in White Supremacy, examines white spectatorship of mainstream anti-racist theatrical events.
