Long time BFS professor, Toni Bowers, has received a grant from the Sachs Program for Arts Innovation for her Fall 2020 class European Pantomime and the Films of Charlie Chaplin. Students in the course will explore the history of pantomime and Charlie Chaplin's efforts to bring the art form to America. Students will also learn the art of pantomiming themselves, performing at least twice throughout the semester. We are glad to see Professor Bowers' tireless work recognized through her receipt of this grant! To read more about the class, visit The Sachs Program's website.
