Join us in an open space of dialogue and action using Theatre of the Oppressed techniques. We will engage in social explorations of power, privilege, and oppression, based on content from newspaper articles/interviews. At the end of this workshop, we will dialogue about the basic foundations of effective facilitation: how to be honest and impartial, consistent and flexible, accepting and questioning. While this is a creative and physical practice, no experience is necessary.
This workshop was designed for the IPHS 494, CRN 41439 Epidemics of Injustice course; the space is limited to 60 participants.
