MISSION
Shakespeare in Action: UNC Charlotte’s Center for Studies in Performance and Culture
Housed in the college of Arts and Sciences but working across colleges and disciplines, the SIA center serves to advance and coordinate various activities and initiatives related to the production and exploration of Shakespeare’s work and that of his contemporaries. Its goal is to advance the study and enjoyment of Renaissance/Early Modern drama and culture, particularly through performance, on campus and in the broader Charlotte community. SIA houses the journal, Shakespeare Bulletin, brings in guest speakers for lectures and colloquia; integrates live performance into campus learning; and provides student scholarships and sponsors special classes, including a summer program in England. The center runs student and faculty gatherings such as the annual Sonnet Slam, and has an affiliated student organization—the UNC Charlotte Shakespeare Society—which mounts staged readings, discussion groups and other events. SIA is actively engaged in community outreach, particularly through area schools, and is dedicated to fostering dialogue between experts in theatre, literature, history, art, psychology, music, education and other areas of art and material culture relevant to the study of Shakespeare’s works.
