Identity Theatrics (Intermediate) led by Vanessa Roberts
What does it mean to be the 'other', how do we all create the 'other' in our everyday choices and what power lies in recognizing our own 'other-ness'? Drawing upon a diverse range of inspirations and theater techniques, Ms. Roberts invites participants to play with these questions and concepts in order to gain a larger vision of the significance of the "us vs. them" dynamic in the work of identity construction. This workshop is very interactive and engaging, steeped in theater, includes short performances and allows the participants to take a personal inventory of their investment in their sense of self and what that means when it comes to engaging with others in the pursuit of social justice.
