Representing Innocence
Taught by David Popalisky of Theatre Department. In this course, participants will have an opportunity to learn about the issue of wrongful convictions, through the primary medium of the visual and performing arts. Students will have a chance to view and reflect upon the performance Barred from Life (created collaboratively by SCU Director of Dance Program David Popalisky and Director of the Northern California Innocence Project Kathleen Ridolfi), the exhibitions The Innocents: Headshots, Photographs by Taryn Simon and A Life Reclaimed: The Journey of Recent Exoneree Alan Crotzer Photographs by Vance Jacobs, as well as in-person testimonials of the exonerated. Discussions with visual and performing artists involved in creating artworks about their struggles will provide a perspective into ways that art can be used as an important tool to explore and communicate the complex experiences of the exonerated. Students will also learn about the important work of organizations such as the Northern California Innocence Project, based at Santa Clara University.
