We're in Volume 7 of the Pedagogy and Theatre of the Oppressed Journal! This short article by Katy Rubin (TONYC's Founder & Former Executive Director), Liz Morgan (TONYC's Director of Training & Pedagogy), and Sulu LeoNimm (TONYC's Executive Director) introduces The Wildcard Workbook and discusses the journey to translating the core ethics of Theatre of the Oppressed into a resource for all kinds of facilitators. It also reflects on TONYC's collaboration process and the ways the workbook may be useful for practitioners.

As we slow down to make space for a break, we’re reflecting on all we accomplished together in 2022. The past two years pushed us to experiment with how we stay connected and share our work. Like in our shows, we tried to harness everything we learned with each “intervention” and put that learning into action.

Here’s some of what blossomed in the past 12 months! Help us with the next 12 — donate today!
