Students can pursue a performance making course taught by Erika Chong Shuch with For You Performance Collective. This course offers an opportunity to ease some of the hardships associated with the pandemic through social engagement. Working in collaboration with diverse elders whose lives are connected to the history of South Berkeley, this course will engage in a multi-generational creative research project. Through ethnographic research, experimental mapping, and performance making, distinct histories of South Berkeley are revealed through the lived experiences of those elders.
