Stand Against Sexism (Theatre of the Oppressed)

Inspired by theatre theorist, Augosto Boal: Alicia, Andrew, Bre, Emma and myself take part in this atyp production lead by Natasha, where teenagers stand up against stereotypes that they have seen, and that they themselves have ever worn.

Three groups take part in this moving production. One doing religion, one doing reconsiliation and lastly my group who did sexism.

Each group wrote their own performance. Special thanks to Natasha, none of this would've been possible without her. :)

@mbr2321 yes..especially the ending lol but none of it was scripted, we did some planning on what was going to happen but the lines if thats what you mean were improvised.

It was in a warehouse....haha, which is like one of the ATYP (Australian Theatre for Young People) buildings. But yeah, I can see how it looks like a barn now that you mention it. =P
