The Dialogue of Civilizations project views artmaking as a form of critical dialogue that builds bridges within and across diverse communities. In these workshops, participants of different ages and backgrounds with no theatrical experiences will learn about some of the basic theatrical techniques in the actors’ toolbox (such as voice, body, and imagination).

The goals of these workshops are for participants to explore how to: actively listen and observe; actively build community; find ways to share our deepest thoughts and feelings with others in a safe environment; and  create a safe and creative community among those who feel, think, and look different.

These free workshops will take place on consecutive Saturdays in May, from 12 – 2PM. Participants are encouraged to attend all three workshops, though attending fewer is welcomed, and RSVP is required by April 26. Designed for ages 16+; no prior experience necessary.
