SUMMARY:Student performance of AFTER/LIFE
DESCRIPTION:
 On Friday, April 28, at 7:30 p.m., a student performance 
 of AFTER/LIFE will take place in the 
 RCAH Theater.\n
 \n
 AFTER/LIFE commemorates Detroit's 
 1967 rebellion and tells the story of 
 its aftermath from the perspectives of the 
 overlooked thousands of women and girls who chased 
 police, lit fires, threw bricks, shoplifted, 
 and much more. Conceived and written by 
 Lisa Biggs, assistant professor at the MSU Residential 
 College in the Arts and Humanities, 
 AFTER/LIFE is an original performance that 
 braids together oral histories, theatre, poetry, 
 and dance to challenge popular misconceptions 
 about why 12th Street residents rose up 
 to burn their city down. Audiences will learn 
 what really motivated the unrest, and about 
 the determination of Detroit's women and girls' 
 to rebuild their city and their lives after.\n
 \n
 Performances 
 are free and open to the public. 
 Age 8+.\n
 \n
 This program is made possible 
 by the generous support of Knight Foundation, 
 MSU's Office for Inclusion and Intercultural 
 Initiatives, RCAH, and the Michigan Humanities 
 Council.\n\n
 Price: free\n
