Nov. 3 - How do we facilitate personal and social transformation? Pedagogy and Theatre of the Oppressed

Our opening ritual was an active one the class was first told to walk, stop, run and shout before we were asked to as a class decide on the appropriate moments for each. Deborah Barndt led the class in a discussion of how personal and social transformation is rooted in place, politics, passion and praxis. These themes were explored partly through song.

If we lose this forest,
If we lose...

We are a gentle, angry people
And we are singing, singing for our lives

Movin', movin' on,
Movin', movin' on,
Nothing can stop me now


This week all of the tutorial groups stayed together for the class for a Theatre of the Oppressed Workshop facilitated by Blakka Ellis.
