Self-Revelatory theatre gives you the opportunity to bridge personal and collective transformation by giving aesthetic form to the wounding experiences and negative messages that have shaped you. By learning and refining acting, improvisation, Playback Theatre and playwriting techniques, you will transform and re-integrate your personal experiences and messages into a life-affirming sense of self or new social vision.
You will then apply these skills to creating a personal theatre piece or collectively created performance witnessed by an invited audience.
Other skills and techniques you will learn include:

Monologue and Scene Study Approaches
