REHEARSAL FOR REALITY: SOCIAL ACTION WORKSHOP
Reinvigorate your life and your community!

March 23 – 25, 2007

Workshops for learners of all kinds: teachers & trainers, artists & activists, actors & non actors alike, and engaged, concerned citizens.

Rehearsal For Reality: Social Action Workshops are for anyone interested in an experiential approach to exploring the self, society and making individual and community change.

“This workshop is raw, real and inspiring.” – Rafi Levin

Gain playful yet powerful new tools for negotiating conflict and building community. Through lively, interactive activities rooted in the work of Augusto Boal, these workshops are designed to awaken participants to their own capabilities, explore thorny issues in non-competitive, open ways and offer a chance for honest dialogue through the moving language of images and theatre. The techniques will lead you to re-see and re-hear yourself, tap into your imagination and strength to take important steps in your lives even as you rehearse new possibilities for working with others.
