Overview of class

We'll study dramatic texts, artists, and organizations in Theatre for Social Change with youth, inviting diverse voices into dialogue. You'll reflect on the issues that matter to you; your identity markers; ethics, responsibility, reciprocity, and power; working within oppressive systems; and theory versus practice. Your primary project in this class will be dreaming up and planning a Theatre for Social Change project or program for youth. Implementing this project is beyond the scope of this class and is not required. Rather, by envisioning a program, you'll critically examine these issues and gain an appreciation for the opportunities and challenges in facilitating Theatre for Social Change with youth.
