	Presented by Prof. Elvira Sanchez-Blake, Associate Professor (Department of Romance and Classical Studies, Michigan State University)\r\n
\r\n
	\r\n
\r\n
	In this presentation Professor Sanchez-Blake analyzes the power of performance as an engine of cultural agency that connects the community and the academy by transforming cultural perceptions and attitudes; creating knowledge and raising social sensitivity toward a reality distant but close for students, faculty and the academic community. The collective theater creation Kan Balaam, condensed to a clear example of cultural agency where students, exposed to a cultural learning laboratory, multiplied their experience by bringing together the Mayan and Chiapas world to the academia eliciting awareness and understanding. \r\n
