Flipping the Script 2: Meeting the Need for New Stories and Storytellers

Monica Ganas, Ph.D., Theater Arts

This session will continue the conversation by exploring new approaches to story, new forms of storytelling, and ethical issues surrounding each. What has been the effect of technology on storytelling and what we think of as story? What has been the lasting impact of the events surrounding 9/11? Why do the ways Christians tell stories matter so much in our current moment? Is it right for time honored theatrical forms such as opera and chorales to be pressed into the service of modern storytelling?
