PANGEA WORLD THEATER, Minneapolis, Minnesota, received $14,700 to support emerging artists developing new works. Pangea illuminates the human condition, celebrates cultural differences, and promotes human rights by creating and presenting international, multidisciplinary theater. It explores and creates literature that crosses boundaries and traditions, and engages in an intercultural and interdisciplinary process that addresses themes such as human rights, immigration, political repression, race relations, freedom and cross-cultural expression. Three emerging artists participating in Pangea's Alternate Visions series will develop new works. Jerome dollars will also seed the development of new works by two core ensemble members, who will strengthen their creative abilities through study and exploration. Pangea will provide customized services based on the individual needs of the five artists.
