Theatre of the Oppressed

 

     Theatre of the Oppressed (TO) is a theatrical, co-creative, justice oriented, and revolutionary experience, one where a person can develop skills that can be applied when they witness or are confronted by social injustices.

TO is a powerful tool for healing communities and breaking cycles of oppression, one that can empower

and engage individuals and groups for communication and problem solving.​

 Jiwon Chung, director- scholar-activist, is a skilled facilitator who leads participants into a variety of techniques, games, and practices using theater as a vehicle for transforming individuals and their communities toward positive social and political change.​

In a word :

                      *Empowerment*
