Citizen Artist Conference

June 13th- 15th, 2008

Are YOU a Citizen Artist?

• Are you someone who is (or wants to be) integrating social/political questioning into their teaching artistry?
• Are you someone who is (or wants to be) joining their passion for political engagement with their passion for arts-in-education?
• Are you someone who wants to learn more about Epic Theatre Ensemble's Citizen Artist program?

Then REGISTER for Epic Theatre Ensemble's 3-day Citizen Artist Conference on June 13th, 14th and 15th in Midtown Manhattan. Our conference will be an enriching, interactive experience - where members of the arts-in-education community will immerse themselves in Epic's methodology and techniques which place theatre at the center of dialogue.
