These are some of the questions our workshops explore as well as looking inward and examining our own identity, bias, and how white supremacy culture shows up in our daily practice. Our workshops also include actionable anti-racist & decolonizing pedagogy strategies that interrogate diversity, equity and inclusion. We also suggest ways of redesigning your season selection, as well as your theatre units/lessons with activities that are culturally inclusive, and relevant, while engaging in meaningful discourse to deconstruct current theatre pedagogical practices. Post workshop, we can also provide reading lists and how to incorporate them into our curricula and syllabi.

Geared towards these types of Theatre Classes Advisement/Coaching/Mentoring for Acting, Dramaturgy, Directing, Playwriting, & Theatre History.

Matt Foss / Associate Professor – Department of Theatre and Film (University of Toledo)

Thank YOU so much for the opportunity and community you created with this workshop and thank you for sharing your scholarship and artistry with the resources you’ve compiled. Thank you especially for your work as BIPOC artists and scholars leading change everyday and during the mental and emotional exhaustion that is 2020.

Spencer M. Potter / Assistant Professor of Theatre, Chair | Westminster Theatre Department

Thank you for an excellent, informative, and hope-filled workshop. I very much appreciate you and your team’s care and diligence to help us continue our work towards anti-racist campuses.

April Beiswenger /Director of Theatre Studies -St. Norbert College De Pere, WI

Thank you both for a really wonderful and illuminating workshop. I have been spending a lot of time this past few months either preparing for teaching my class (Stage Management) remotely, or dealing with the students, faculty and staff of our department trying to cope with remote learning and a remote fall. Add to that the time and energy that must be spent in this time to make the anti-racist choices that need to be made, for myself, my classes, and the department. What your workshop did for me was to focus it all and show me some real pathways towards using what I am learning in practice. I thank you for that. I wish there were 3 more days, or more to discuss, listen and learn with you and the others that were in the sessions.

Meredith Greenburg / Chair | Production Manager / California State University, Los Angeles

Thank you so so much Daphnie and for your inspiring workshop.

Ursula Meyer / Head of Graduate Acting / UCSD Department of Theatre and Dance

Thank you so much for all of this. Thank you for organizing this. It is a lot of information.

I am so glad that I am being introduced to methodologies and writers and considerations. Things that I never had before, and notions that I need to interrogate for all of my students. Thank you so much for giving us all the space and opportunity and materials to dive into this work of changing what and how we teach. I hope you all are well and I look forward to our continued conversations and partnership.
