Performing transformation in the Community University of the Rivers

In 1998, Dan1 was granted a visiting professorship at the State University of Santa Catarina in Brazil to develop community theatre as pedagogy. This collaboration inspired artistic and cultural collaborations with Brazil’s landless, indigenous, trade-union and university communities, and culminated in a series of national sculptural monuments. Dan decided to leave Wales in 1999 and in partnership with arteducator Manoela Souza, has dedicated his past 16 years to the development of a transformance pedagogy-artistic performance for transformation based in cultural literacy2-across Brazil and in collaboration with arts education networks and universities in Africa, Asia, Latin America, North America and Europe.
