FROM THE PREVIOUS YEAR’S PARTICIPANTS:

You all gave enormously and patiently of yourselves, your time, your passion and your art. You have re-inspired me with a model of life and work – of the possibilities if one works hard and fights when needed. You have helped me to believe the power of my imagination and my dreams. –Electa Behrens (USA)

I know you through your work and that is what has drawn me to want to work with you. The Helen Keller work made a profound impression on me. You do profound work. I have received it gratefully. I admire and respect the work – and thus you. –Gail George (USA)

In 2016, Lexington Books published the DAH Theatre: A Sourcebook edited by E. Dennis Barnett.

Dennis Barnett has assembled a most informed and engaging sourcebook on DAH Theatre, one of the world’s definitive companies working in social conflict contexts. A work of great breadth that offers a meaningful and enjoying read to the historian, the scholar and the practitioner, while ultimately managing to paint the rich portrait of a living theater and of the people and societal circumstances that breathe life into it. This is a necessary and revelatory book. –Roberto Gutiérrez Varea, University of San Francisco
