Interim Chair of Dance and Theatre Departments and choreographer, Peter Carpenter doesn’t know the word “traditional.” Whether exploring economic ideas or the nuances of AIDS, he aims to make audiences think—and he takes that attitude into the classroom. In his own words, Carpenter talks about his work, modern Marxism and Columbia College Chicago.
