RECONSTRUCTING “Reading” LIst

 

This Fall, we enter an 8-week intensive in which we’ll finish, rehearse, and present work-in-progress showings of RECONSTRUCTING (STILL WORKING BUT THE DEVIL MIGHT BE INSIDE). We invite you to read/watch/listen along with us as we dive into the research and thinkers that are informing the piece!

*This list of resources that we’re engaging with is very much alive and will continue to grow through the Fall.*
