UM Residential College Deutsches Theater students/actors had opportunities to participate in annual subsidized theater and arts study trips to Germany between 2002-2020. On each trip students visited art museums and did alternative walking tours by day and attended a range of performances (from experimental theater to opera and ballet) by night. Students drew and painted, kept visual journals, and on most trips, the group had a study blog so that friends and family could follow our adventures.
I was fortunate to garner enough grant money for our study trips (thanks to funding from CGIS, the International Institute, and the RC, as well as RC Deutsches Theater alumni, with a special shout out to Peter Shin and his Asgard Press calendars) to make these trips affordable to students. Following most trips, I made a book, documenting all aspects of the trip. The book contained photos, art work and writing samples and reflections by the trip participants.
You can find information on many of our study trips by visiting this website. To see how the study trips were connected to courses they grew out of, you might check out this site with a description of RC Cultures in Dialogue and the study trip.
