Join us on July 7th at 10:00 Eastern Daylight Savings Time on our Facebook livestream. Lesley Ferris, Distinguished Arts and Humanities Professor of Theatre Emerita, Department of Theatre, Film and Media Arts, director of the On the Front Lines project, will discuss her international theatre work and research on women in Theatre. Lesley Ferris co-founded Palindrome Productions, a London based theatre company that simultaneously stages her work in Britain. A truly international scholar, she has facilitated authentic cultural engagements with Britain, Iraq, Palestine, Afghanistan and many more since becoming a professor at Ohio State University. On the Front Lines marked a turning point in the evolution of theater and cross-cultural learning at The Ohio State University (OSU). The project’s purpose of bringing the voices, lived experiences and cultural contexts of Afghan women to our campus and the world through theater was met with immense interest and enthusiasm. Ohio State hosted six events in the fall of 2019 , including the performance of two plays commissioned for the project. Dr. Ferris will share her current work related to the project and other projects which foreground playwrights, theatre professionals, and authors from the Middle East and around the world.
