Additional Description

General

The Bridge Program was a three quarter program, conducted in Tacoma. In the fall, students studied theater from a broad historical perspective, and learned the basics of beginning movement, acting, and dance, within the context of the "Theatre of the Oppressed". In winter, the focus switched to literature by indigenous peoples, and script writing. In spring, the students studied antropology and ethnomusicology. They also kept a journal, and wrote a research paper.
