We offer workshops as either a stand-alone service or to accompany any of our shows. Each workshop uses interactive theater techniques to dramatically bring issues to life in a dynamic, hands-on experience and can be adapted to the campus or the workplace. You can choose from an existing roster of topics or we can design curriculum to fit your needs.

Role-play Workshops

Either as stand-alone service or to accompany our shows, RPWs are designed to sensitize participants to a specific issue (i.e., diversity, bias, student or staff conflicts) and use role-play to engender empathy, discussion and self-reflection. They are a safe and creative way to allow participants to think critically about important issues, enhance communication and identify positive solutions. Participants can choose from an existing curriculum or can have a workshop designed for the specific needs of the student body, staff, or organization. The time frame can range from 45 minutes to one week. Contact Emily Weiner at 646-228-2292 to discuss your needs.

Sample Workshops:

“Combating Homophobia and Creating a More Inclusive School Campus.”
“Creating a More Inclusive Campus or Workplace” - Addresses diversity issues for staff in an academic or corporate setting
“Respecting Difference” - Addresses diversity issues for students. Can be adapted for any grade level.
“The staff feedback after the workshop was overwhelmingly positive. Many teachers remarked that the workshop really encouraged them to think about how to be more inclusive with their individual curriculums. “-Debora DiFronzo Teacher, Hastings High School

Creative Arts Intensives

Creative Arts Intensives are designed to inspire and guide groups in the creation of their own theatrical work, which they can use to educate others on issues central to their mission. Open to non-performers as well s experienced actors, we guide participants to access their creativity in service of issues they are most passionate about. Using theater techniques as a tool for expression, education and outreach, the CAI fosters group cohesion over a series of 1, 2, or 3 highly charged weekends of improvisation, free writing, theater games, and music. Participants will have an artist-guided creation of original theatrical work that can include scenes, songs, rap, poetry and movement.
