Lakshmi Bulathsinghala, an adjunct Theater faculty member at SUNY Broome, has received a Short-Term Fellowship at the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, D.C., for a research project, announced SUNY Broome theater director Katherine Bacon.
“We are proud to be losing Lakshmi for a semester for this important work,” Professor Bacon said.
The project is entitled “Humor and Amusement on the Western and the Eastern Stage: A Study of the Clown Characters in Shakespearean Drama and Sri Lankan ‘Nurthi.’” This past October, Lakshmi also gave a presentation at the 46th annual Conference on South Asia in Madison, Wisconsin, on “Woman, Motherhood, and Practice: Challenging the Traditions in Post-Independence Sri Lankan Drama.”
