Description: This workshop provides the opportunity for facilitators to reflect on their facilitation in community with Theatre of the Oppressed practitioners, and engage a rigorous exploration of how to incorporate anti-oppression methodology inside of the work of Theatre of the Oppressed. Participants will lead Forum Theatre games and exercises, share roadblocks they've experienced, and receive feedback from the TONYC jokers and fellow workshop participants. This workshop is best suited for individuals with prior facilitation experience.

Goals:
   - Review and deepen knowledge of the theory and politics that are the foundation of TO.

   - Practice facilitating games, learn from the practice of your fellow participants and have the opportunity to give and receive constructive feedback.

   - Evaluate your practice based on three essential elements of jokering: accuracy, style and ethics. Discuss the adjustments necessary to meet the needs of different communities.

 - Practice jokering a forum scene, and receive constructive feedback.  

 - Ask questions. Access resources. Build networks.
