For the last year Dan Froot, research professor in the Department of World Arts and Cultures/Dance in the School of the Arts and Architecture has been working on a multilayered theatrical performance and anthology work called “Arms Around America.” Dan Froot & Company conducted book-length oral histories of families whose lives have been shaped by guns, in South Florida, Montana and Southern California. The ensemble adapted those stories into a podcast that launched at the end of June.
Each episode of “ Arms Around America” features a short immersive audio drama based on stories of real families from around the country whose lives have been shaped by guns. Community leaders, scholars, activists and the families themselves join Dan Froot & Company to unpack the questions and conundrums in each story.
