This innovative workshop invites audience and community members to explore and challenge the social complexities created by constructs of racism, power and privilege.
The workshop uses two scenes from The Incident, a new play written by Joakim Daun, to encourage participants to reflect over their own experiences and prejudices. Through theatre games and Theatre of the Oppressed techniques we generate dialogue and explore new narratives based on the participants own experiences.
Participants can be theatre practitioners, audience members who have seen The Incident play to community members who have no experience with theatre. There is no required training or experience to participate. We only ask that you come willing to engage creatively and critically in dialogue and share stories and experiences through theatre and play.
