Theoretical Foundations of Civic Engagement in Performance

This exam evaluates the key theoretical frameworks that inform civic engagement practices within the performing arts. It focuses on the roles that activism, advocacy, and community involvement play in shaping artistic expressions aimed at social change.

The relevance of these frameworks lies in their ability to inform both academic inquiry and practical applications in the arts community. Understanding these principles allows practitioners to better utilize performative strategies to fuel social movements and foster community dialogue.

Candidates will be assessed on their capacity to articulate the significance of these theories, explain their implications for performance art, and discuss various examples from historical and contemporary contexts. The exam will focus on both critical analysis and verbal presentation skills.

Students are encouraged to prepare specific examples and case studies that illustrate the impact of civic engagement through the performing arts to enrich their verbal responses.
