Theatre of the Oppressed

April 1, 2023

Along with fellow artist, Joel Walley, I led a Theatre of the Oppressed workshop through Charlotte Street Foundation in Kansas City, MO.

​

In this 4 hour workshop, I acted as the Joker and led the SpectActors through games. I assembled a troupe of actors to create a piece of Forum Theatre to present at the workshop. The topic was affordable housing which was also a main topic among the audience in our pre-performance discussions. 

We created a community agreement and rules for our workshop with the SpectActors.
We discussed what opression and priviledge looks like and wrote our answers on a sticky note.
