Overview
"This study explores the impact of participation in a critically engaged high school theatre program on the cultural identity development of its adolescent participants. Drawing from research on critical pedagogy, culturally sustaining pedagogy, models of cultural identity development, and from interviews with eleven participants of a high school theatre program in an urban district outside Boston, MA, the researcher explores the role of affinity in cultural identity development and questions how affinity can be developed in a theatre classroom or rehearsal process. Findings suggest that an emphasis on the values of plurality in these environments may support the building of affinity between diverse groups of young theatre artists." -- Abstract
