Radical Sunday School BDAY: Theatre of the Oppressed

The ‘Theatre of the Oppressed’ is a method that allows us to express, manifest, and tackle social oppression. During this workshop, we’ll play, and through playing we research, grow and share perspectives on the personal worldly.

We’ll work with the theme of the day, ‘Communal learning’ and research what that could look like by and through playing theater together.

There’s absolutely no theater experience needed, the workshop facilitator will guide you through the workshop.

WHAT IS RADICAL SUNDAY SCHOOL?

The formal education system affects us all. Not only are we forced to attend schools growing up, but academic research shapes our governments, our news, and how we view the world around us. As much as many of us want to believe in the promise of institutional education, the sad fact is that our schools and universities are undemocratic and elitist. They perpetuate inequalities instead of giving people the tools to fight them. This world is fucked.

Here at Radical Sunday School, though, we know that another world is possible. Everyone should be able to direct their own learning, to grow together with their communities, and to live as though they’re already free. There are countless examples of movements already putting these ideas into practice. This collective is trying to follow in their footsteps, organizing to explore new ways of learning based on principles of autonomy, mutual aid, and egalitarianism.

This is not intended to be a course that you would have to follow all the way through. Jump in and out whenever you like. Sessions will be held every Sunday.
