Uncomfortable Conversations: A Theatre-Based Virtual Workshop Confronting Privilege, Bias and Racism
*The event has already taken place on this date: Sun, 01/24/2021
Many of us enter conversations about privilege, bias and racism with the best of intentions, but even the most skilled communicators can struggle to meaningfully engage family, friends and colleagues when it comes to these complex and emotional topics.
In this innovative, virtual workshop, Impact Interactive performance educators present realistic scenes that illustrate the challenges of speaking up for racial justice at home and at work.
Please help us keep this calendar up to date! If this activity is sold out, canceled, or otherwise needs alteration, email mindy@kidsoutandabout.com so we can update it immediately. If you have a question about the activity itself, please contact the organization administrator listed below.
When tensions heighten, the scenes freeze and our experienced facilitators invite participants to interact with the characters to learn more about their thoughts, feelings and motivations. Together, we:
-
CONFRONT AND IDENTIFY SOME SUBTLE (AND NOT SO SUBTLE) EXPRESSIONS OF PRIVILEGE, BIAS AND RACISM
-
EXAMINE COMMON CHALLENGES TO CONSTRUCTIVE CONVERSATIONS ABOUT RACE
-
EXPLORE STRATEGIES TO OVERCOME COMMON CHALLENGES, SO THAT WE CAN HOLD CONSTRUCTIVE CONVERSATIONS—ESPECIALLY WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUGH.
Participation is limited to 100 attendees | Register early
Workshop takes place virtually over Zoom
