Ubuntu comes from Zulu philosophy meaning "I am what I am because of who we all are." Ubuntu Theatre is being created by primarily Students of Color at SUNY New Paltz who want to create more diverse knowledge on the theatre arts. The goal is to educate ourselves on issues within our own communities by having workshops, scene studies, and performances that center around the experiences of SOC.What better way for us to reclaim our narratives than creating our own works and telling the stories ourselves? In using the word Ubuntu, we aim to create a community, in which we can all relate, educate, and express ourselves in a strong community.
