This sharing practice workshop will be an interactive session exploring theatres for change. We will spend the first hour enacting the methodology and the second reflecting on how it might be used in our practice. The theatre for change methodology has been developed by a decolonial study collective, and draws on work by critical pedagogues Paulo Freire, bell hooks and Augusto Boal, as well as other decolonial and anti-racist activists and scholars.

This cross-faculty collaborative session will particularly appeal to colleagues concerned with critical and decolonial pedagogies, and those interested in exploring creative methods for developing critical thinking and ‘unlearning’ with their students.
