DESCRIPTION:Learn about various people of color guerilla and social justice theater, 
 practice skills, meet and create affinity groups and more! \n\nAll in a 
 safe, inviting space dedicated to POC feminists, POC queers and POC 
 anti-authoritarian/anti-capitalists. (free event).\n\nIn our 1st of a 
 series of workshops, we present:\n\nheadRush and the Theatre of the 
 Oppressed: Image and Forum Theatre\n...\nInspired by the work of Paolo 
 Freire and developed by Agosto Boal among others, Theater of the Oppressed 
 techniques are designed to deconstruct existing power dynamics and give 
 both actors and audience opportunities to explore the infinite 
 possibilities available to them within each moment. \n\nThe members of 
 headRush draw upon these life-changing techniques to design workshops for 
 schools, universities and organizations. Each workshop begins with a series 
 of games that help participants become physically present and mentally 
 reflective, as well as promote guidelines for positive group interaction. 
 Participants are then guided through a process of critically examining 
 particular social conditions through movement, frozen images, and a variety 
 of strategies for physical and verbal dialogue. Depending on the scope of 
 the workshop, it can culminate with anything from a newfound sense of self 
 and community to an actual performance. All Theatre of the Oppressed events 
 are designed to invite dialogue and significant audience 
 participation.\n\n\n\nAGENDA:\n*Open with Introductions, briefly present 
 POCAT & headRush. Slideshow on POC Social Justice Theater past and present. 
 \n\n*headRush skill share and exercises for whole group to participate and 
 practice. \n\n*Break into groups, practice skills, create, and 
 present.\n\n*Space for people to create affinity groups.\n\n*Announcements 
 and closing.\n\n\ncreated by POCAT and headRush\n\n\nheadRush:\n"Bay Area 
 group Headrush combines Chicano culture, hip-hop, progressive politics and 
 spoken-word poetry to create an explosive live experience. Comprised of 
 three Oakland-based educators and extremely versatile performers, Rosa 
 Esperanza González, Simón Adinia Hanukai, and Luis “Xago” Juarez, 
 Headrush strives to challenge assumptions and present complex issues in a 
 way that is “relevant and 
 accessible.”\n\nwww.headrushcrew.com\n\n\nPeople of Color Action 
 Theater:\nPOCAT is a people of color street theater collective based in the 
 SF and East Bay Area. POCAT sees theater as a strategy for addressing, 
 intervening and resisting the daily violence faced by communities of color. 
 We are a feminist, queer-friendly, anti-border, anti-authoritarian 
 collective.\n\npocat.wordpress.com, pocactiontheater@gmail.com\n\n\n
