Parents are invited to the final 30 mins of the workshop.
This workshop meets at Boise Little Theater – 100 E. Fort St. Boise, ID. Facilited by Allison Terenzio-Ruiz
This 1 day workshop will bring together students interested in researching and practicing socially engaged performance. We will investigate the ways in which theater has served as a forum to rethink and rehearse notions of community, citizenship, justice, power, authority and responsibility.
Students will create original monologues focusing on social justice themes. Examples: age, race, religion, bullying, socioeconomic status, and religion. Students will explore the aspects of society that inform self esteem and decision making, and re-evaluate how our community oppresses and empowers them.
This workshop will explore sensitive issues and may be emotionally charged. We will create a safe space to explore, respect, gain knowledge, and celebrate our differences.
Students will be asked to bring a work-in-progress personal story or monologue exploring this topic – 1-2 mins in length.
Please come to the workshop in comfortable clothes (no skirts, please), shoes that stay on their feet (no flip flops, please), and bring a labeled water bottle, snack and lunch.
Payment is appreciated by the first day of class. This class are closed to observers. A waiting area adjacent to the classroom is available. Thank you in advance for respecting this policy.
