William García, associate professor of
Spanish, has published an article, “De
locos y cocolos: identidades híbridas en el teatro de Carlos Canales” in a
special issue of Latin American Theatre Review (Spring 2004) dedicated
to Caribbean theater. The article centers on the
characterization (representation and performance) of hybrid national identities
in five monologues by Puerto Rican dramatist Carlos Canales. Also, he just
returned from a trip to Cuba where he participated in the “Theater in May” Festival
(May 7-16) in Havana and attended a workshop on political cabaret taught by renowned
performers Jesusa Rodriguez and Liliana Felipe at Casa de las Americas.
