URegina opens new Centre for Socially Engaged Theatre

The University of Regina has officially opened its new Centre for Socially Engaged Theatre (C-SET), a space that brings together scholars, artists, and community partners to engage in intellectual discussions on pressing issues facing Saskatchewan. Using theatre and the performing arts, C-SET hosts workshops, podcasts, livestreaming events and more to address the social dimensions of policing, racism, the immigration experience, and other issues. “Saskatchewan is becoming really more and more diverse,” said C-SET Director Dr Taiwo Afolabi. “But with that comes its own responsibility, with that comes its own reality of how do we bring people together? What does it mean to belong?”
