Students will engage with both the technique and theory behind theatre for social justice performance. Studio work will focus on key elements of improvisation and theatre devising-creating original scenes and monologues. The class will practice exercises from Augusto Boal's Theatre of the Oppressed, and will read, research, and write about the different ways theatre has been used to give expression to disempowered voices in a society. This course counts toward the Gender, Women, and Sexuality Studies and the Peace, Justice, and Conflict Studies majors/minors. ARTSC, offered occasionally.
