She knew she would be curating a play for the stage, so she considered the relationships and connections within families and storytelling. The resulting piece, \u201cDirk and Others Still with Us,\u201d is the culmination of her passion for theater and the ways the stories we tell connect us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The core of the play is inspired by Brujin\u2019s relationship to her grandfather, Dirk. He passed away when she was only 11 months old; as such, she only knows a handful of facts about him and doesn\u2019t have any personal memories of him. Yet, she has always felt a particular connection with him.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Dirk, Original Play by Macalester Student\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/e4mCSjY_rKk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Anna Bruijn March 23\u201324, 2018Black Box Theater Cast: Marisa Peredo \u201920, Jesse Claire \u201920 and Elinor Jones \u201921 Learn more about the play through the Mac Weekly review: https:\/\/themacweekly.com\/2018\/03\/play-preview-dirk-and-others-still-with-us\/ &#8220;Last year, as senior theatre major Anna Brujin \u201918 was thinking about potential subjects for her capstone, the theme of family kept coming back to [&hellip;]<\/p>","protected":false},"author":224,"featured_media":1076,"parent":214,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1092","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.macalester.edu\/theater-and-dance\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1092","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.macalester.edu\/theater-and-dance\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.macalester.edu\/theater-and-dance\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.macalester.edu\/theater-and-dance\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/224"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.macalester.edu\/theater-and-dance\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1092"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.macalester.edu\/theater-and-dance\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1092\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8947,"href":"https:\/\/www.macalester.edu\/theater-and-dance\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1092\/revisions\/8947"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.macalester.edu\/theater-and-dance\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/214"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.macalester.edu\/theater-and-dance\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1076"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.macalester.edu\/theater-and-dance\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1092"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
