FREN 559 – Talk-it-OUT! Theatre for Social Justice

Talk-it-OUT! Theater for Social Justice explores the ways in which theatre performance/performance activism can be used to bring awareness of and promote social change around questions of social justice (race, gender, age, sexuality, religion, nationality, education, (dis)ability and bodymind, etc.). Through classroom and community performances utilizing techniques of forum theatre (Boal) and interactive theatre (Grosjean), we will build upon student leadership skills and reflect on the various ways performative activism can positively impact the society in which we live as well as contribute to building bridges between schools and the broader community. We will discuss selected readings that address questions of power, privilege, social identity and structures of oppression, as well as readings on the practice and theory of interactive theatre. In class, we will explore different tools for creative action designed to reflect upon social justice and promote social change and community building. Students will develop skills in creative writing and expression through theatre activities. Students will also gain hands-on teaching experience by co-leading
theatre workshops and/or discussions with local high schools and other community members. Assignments include readings, writing, journaling, and group work (workshops, community meetings, creative writing, performances).
