2023 Post-Show Talkback: Fornés’ Living Legacy
Dates
November 2, 2023
Description
Hosted by Nicole Stodard PhD, Thinking Cap Theatre’s Artistic Director
This program will allow attendees to learn about embodied pedagogy and embodied research methodology from a humanities scholar as well as learn about how creative teams apply embodied practices to rehearse and perform works, such as Fornes’ Tango Palace, which literally and thematically explores animal and human embodiment and the potentially subversive and therapeutic power of role play.
The Talkback will take place directly after the 7:30pm performance of Tango Palace.

About the Play: Tango Palace
TCT’s first production at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts will be TANGO PALACE, an early play by the late great master playwright and Pulitzer nominee, María Irene Fornés (1930-2018). A nine-time Obie Award winner, Fornés was a prolific author of nearly forty plays, a pioneer of the 1960’s Off-Off Broadway movement, and an originator of site-specific and immersive theatre.
TANGO PALACE, a dark, funny, and whimsical examination of perilous passion, tests the limits of the age-old saying that ‘all is fair in love and war.’
