The Hugh Downs School offers several opportunities for communication in the community. In addition to internships listed elsewhere, students should seek out information about activities through class announcements and posted notices.
A recurring outreach opportunity is available through COM 341: "Social Contexts For Performance," which offers interactive performance experience with specific community groups such as at-risk middle school students. Other community outreach performance programs are offered irregularly with credit-earning possibilities through COM 281. Student participation in regularly scheduled performance activities at the Empty Space Theatre (http://asu.edu/clas/communication/events/emptyspace/) provides community members opportunity to view socially-centered performances and to discuss ideas presented in talk-back forums.
