Welcome!

PERFECT UNION is part of a series of collaboratively created theatre pieces and events devised by members of the Stony Brook University community to explore the complex issue of U.S. immigration. We use a multidisciplinary approach - encompassing dialogue, movement, dance, music, media, and visual arts - to investigate and complicate our understanding of immigration and its relationship to our national identity, from historical trends to current policy and beyond. This blog is intended to enrich the shared experience of our collaborators and our community. It is a place to explore the issues we're grappling with in the piece and to examine the process(es) involved in creating the production itself. It will include background information; personal reflections, impressions, and stories; interviews, news items; and more. Check back weekly for new posts!
