Rehearsing for ‘Better’
BRING YOUR SOCKS (WORKSHOPS)29 June, Saturday
12:30–2:30 PM
Black Box
*Free with Expression-of-Interest by 7 June
24 spaces availableWhen we are told 'this is just how things are done here' or 'this is how things are', how might we respond? What are some small steps we can take to change our surroundings for the better? In this workshop, Adib Kosnan and Chong Gua Khee adapt a forum theatre script about working conditions in the arts into an intimate discussion and roleplay exercise. Participants will get to try out their own scripts for change, as well as watch and learn from other folks' experiments. By rehearsing together in a safe space, participants will build their own vocabularies for making a difference in their own contexts, regardless of art form or role!
