...And Justice For All
This creative workshop is built on the power of collaboration and coalition-building. Its goal is to theatrically explore pressing human rights issues in today’s society, recognizing that while we can each develop our own plans, we can also learn from others with intentionality, build on their ideas, and strengthen our own.
Through experiential theater games, free-form writing, improv, and storytelling, participants will create and present short collaborative performances in a variety of mediums, experiencing the power of using their voices theatrically in real time.
