We are a group of theatre activists and drama therapists comitted to racial justice. We use Theatre of the Oppressed, Playback Theatre, and many drama therapy methods. We are offering a weekly interactive theatre workshop for community members who would like to partake in a space for anti-racist community building, working through dynamics with “isms” within the movement, letting off steam, and practicing embodying our racial justice ideals together.We encourage community members who do or who would like to embody anti-racist/ racial justice oriented ideals. We acknowledge that for white activists, this means practicing having the humility and compassion to continually challenge our assumptions, and distortions, and listen deeply to people of color. This space is for people of color and white people and acknowledges that we live in a world that is racially oppressive. For People of Color, this space can be a place to acknowledge the oppressive systems we are impacted by and how those systems manifest in our interactions with our communities, families, partnerships, and ourselves in the narratives and interactions we have about ourselves, our partners, families, friends, and community.The movement, at its best, can be about embodying racial justice ideals in order to make the change we need. We are inspired by histories of resistance to racial injustice and honor these legacies. Interactive theatre, like drama therapy, Theatre of the Oppressed, and Playback Theatre, are powerful tools to help with this process.
