Gendered Dynamics and Power in the Performing Arts

This workshop uses techniques from Theatre of the Oppressed to examine systemic oppression, gendered dynamics and power relations in the performing arts. Through physical exercises and situational improvisations contributed by participants, the session explores how power circulates on and off stage and offers practical tools to reclaim agency and transform everyday interactions. The workshop follows a chosen-mix policy and excludes cisgender heterosexual men to foster a safer, more expressive space.
