BEHIND THE SHADOWS: LIGHT.
A queer and feminist guide to using Shadow Theatre and Theatre of the Oppressed to address gender-based violence
ONLINE MULTIPLICATION EVENT
Friday 12th May, 3.00 pm- 4.00 pm CET
Shadows and lights are part of our everyday life and evoke a complex spectrum of metaphors: hiding, feeling safe, speaking up, showing the truth, being oppressed, or freeing ourselves.
Those shadows and lights became center of the international project „Behind the Shadows: Light.“ in which we were researching around the topic of gender-based violence in close relationships from a queer and feminist perspective.
Part of this process was to produce a guide, that we will happily present you in this online multiplication event.
In the Multiplication event, we will give you an insight into our guide and work: the world of Shadow Theatre, Theatre of the Oppressed and possible ways of combining both. We will share our ideas and reflection questions about working on gender-based violence and on queering it all up.
We invite practitioners working in the field of gender and anti-discrimation, theatre practitioners, educators, social workers, organizations working on gender-based violence and people who are engaged in creating a culture of consent, respect and healthy relationships as well as everyone interested.
