This is a 2 day workshop for anyone who is feeling desperate about the need for deep social change. It's an invitation to bring your sense of desperation, failure and frustration and, using processes and insights from Forum Theatre, processwork, meditation and liberation anthropology, spend a couple of days exploring what's not working and why - and what we could try instead.
‘Failure’ is a loaded word. We’ll pay attention to what we’ve been conditioned to feel about success and failure, and the feelings those generate in us. We’ll be exploring specific experiences of failure in our lives, work or collective struggles. We’ll be using theatre and process work, possibly with puppets, to map and explore this territory, before harvesting what we’ve learned, and rehearsing how we are going to put this into practice.
