POLICY

Personal Narrative Theater
Personal Narrative Theater is a form of relationship building that introduces members of these two groups to one another through their personal experiences of powerlessness.
The Collective Narrative
Personal narratives of powerlessness become communal narratives from which scenes are created.
Conflict Theater
In Conflict Theater, participants share their negative experiences encountering the opposite group.
Performing Solutions
Participants begin to prepare for a staged reading of an original play that contains the stories that they worked on: personal, collective and conflict.
