As news of Michael Brown\u2019s death came forward, we connected with theatre artists in Ferguson and across the United States to spark and organize a national artistic response to the oppression, violence, and resistance happening in Ferguson, MO and its relationship to all of our communities and our history. The project took place over three days where we witnessed, served, and collaborated in artistic exchange. This open source project built the bridges for each of us to continue artistic exploration in our own organizations. OSF decided to continue with a national multi-perspective approach, and reached out to short form theater maker Dominic D\u2019Andrea and The One-Minute Play Festival (1MPF) to continue.<\/p>\n<p>Produced by the Oregon Shakespeare Festival under the leadership of Claudia Alick,( OSF\u2019s Community Producer) and Dominic D\u2019Andrea (The One-Minute Play Festival, Producing AD), in association with local St. Louis theater makers, we developed The Every 28 Hours Plays, a national project focused on the current Civil Rights movement. The title came from the widely shared and contested statistic that every twenty-eight hours a black person is killed by vigilante, security guard, or the police in the United States. The project consists of around 76 short plays and original local content with participation from artists across the nation.<\/p>\n<h6><span style=\"color: #800000\">The North County 3-College Theatre and Social Justice Project<\/span><\/h6>\n<p>Our participation in The Every 28 Hours plays has prompted us to form a this new Theatre and Social Justice Project. We\u00a0strive\u00a0to create theatre experiences that\u00a0provide a complex context and empathetic opening for respectful, solution-oriented dialogue following the plays. With support from the North County Higher Education Alliance, students, staff and faculty from Palomar College, Mira Costa College and CSUSM are collaborating to engage our region in the important issues that shape our times.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Today, in the United States of America, black people are killed by police at a sharply higher rate than other Americans.
