Staging Power & Rehearsing Change

Join Kea Trevett (actor, director, and teaching artist) for a dynamic workshop that provides directors and actors with tools to explore identity, diversity, justice, and action in complex texts, while creating a safe and supportive environment for rehearsing change and inspiring collective action through theater.

​During this session, students will:

• Work as actors and directors to read, discuss, and stage a scene from Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet
• Learn a framework for analyzing and staging performances guided by The Viewpoints
• Explore foundational tools for staging change, inspired by Augusto Boal's Theatre of the Oppressed
