Quarantine is not slowing down Temple FMA Professor Rea Tajiri. Her incredible works are groundbreaking and inspirational with films that straddle documentary and art film genres and a way of finding new ways of storytelling that embrace the murky spaces of memory, history, and public consciousness.
Temple’s Department of Theater is deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Lee Kenneth Richardson, who served as Associate Professor in Drama at Temple University, from 2008-2017. Lee, who was known and respected as an enormous force in the theater at Temple and around the nation, was a founding member of the CROSSROADS THEATER COMPANY, the nation's only African American theater to receive a Tony award for distinguished achievement in regional theater.
Can you drift ghostlike through a cityscape? Live the quarantine life of a stranger? Explore virtual representations of the Chapel in the Performing Arts Center (now with a fountain)? Its pretty hard to do right now -- but online nearly everything is possible -- that’s one of the thrilling parts of these incredible pieces designed by Temple's Film and Media Arts students.
