Producer and Project Director: Renee Emunah
Performers: Geno Creese, Christian Harris, Kate Olson, Daphne Ong, Tara Metcalf,
Bryan Ritchie, Mizi Samuels-Waithe. Stage Manager/Dramaturg: Samira Sheahan
This original theatre piece confronts sexual harassment and assault, and the power structures that have perpetuated the oppression of women. The troupe explores how the MeToo movement impacts those across the (non-binary) gender spectrum, and also prompts a revisiting of past experiences of being violated, or of acting in complicity. With humor and creativity, the piece also examines consent, communication, and sexuality. Despite the roller-coaster of failure and successes in the fight for justice, the play insists on deep listening to stories of survivors, and standing up for equality.
Theatre for Change is an ongoing project of the Drama Therapy program. Original theatre pieces aimed at furthering awareness pertaining to inclusion, diversity, equality, and social justice are produced and performed for the CIIS community and beyond.
