Theatre for Social Change In Your Community

Created initially for Wave Learning Festival, a student-run educational platform that aims to teach students through seminars on a variety of topics, Theatre for Social Change In Your Community is an interactive, game, and discussion-based workshop, serving as an introduction to community theatre-making through a social justice lens. Each class begins with a community-building activity. The bulk of the class consists of improv and theatre games, exploration, and practice. Class ends with tangible ways to implement theatre for social justice. Key questions include "What does theatre for social justice look like?", “What is community?”, "What is the arts' role in social movements/activism?", and "How can I create art in my own community?"
