immigration officers: On Thursday, the school will debut its modernized version of Porter's Within the Quota, according to Brandon Sun. The ballet is one of several productions happening across the country in reaction to the administration's immigration policy, including a Boulder, Colorado, play featuring immigrants and immigration officers and a Los Angeles play touching on themes of terrorism and immigration detention centres. Nearly a century later, the ballet is being revived by a Princeton University music professor troubled by President Donald Trump's actions on immigration. They are part of a long history of art as a form of activism and political resistance that can help people connect the struggles of the moment with the struggles of the past, said Sarah J. Jackson, a communications studies professor at Northeastern University. Most people will never lobby at a statehouse for a bill, or go to a rally or protest in their life. Art is a form that can often reach people that might not engage in more traditional spaces of politics or activism, Jackson said.
