Students in Queen’s University’s Drama programme have had a unique opportunity this spring to learn and collaborate with students from the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill (UNC) and the National Universities of Ireland-Galway (NUIG).
Using the Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) model, Dr Kurt Taroff from the School Arts, English and Languages at Queen’s worked with UNC’s Adam Versenyi and NUIG’s Patrick Lonergan to create Theatre and Pandemic a module exploring in real time how theatre is responding to the current conditions of a world in shutdown and how it might emerge when this is over, as well as how theatre has responded in previous periods of health crisis.
