"This book is a practical guide for using the power of theatre to address issues of oppression in areas such as race, ethnicity, LGBTQ+, gender, and sexual harassment. Giving Voices charts a roadmap for the process of establishing a troupe, including auditioning members, utilizing authentic source material, directing rehearsals, guiding mindful growth among troupe members, and facilitating an inclusive forum environment. Rooted in Augusto Boal's THEATRE OF THE OPPRESSED and using the nationally recognized Missouri State University's Giving Voice troupe as a model, this book provides guidance for customizing the program's principles to meet the needs of your school, community, organization, or business. Giving Voice forums bring professional development to a new level. Applications include diversity and cultural awareness training in educational settings for students, staff, faculty, and administrators, as well as those in non-profit and for-profit organizations. This book provides a powerful and proven approach to creating a truly inclusive climate. This book is a guidebook for accessible use in the secondary and university setting in theatre and performance studies"-- Provided by publisher.
