We collaborate with NYC communities to confront oppression at all levels\, using Augusto Boal’s theatre practices and Paulo Freire’s liberatory pedagogy as powerful tools for systemic transformation. Our work doesn’t just raise awareness; it demands change. \nWhat we do:\nFoster Solidarity to Ignite Awareness – We create space for members of marginalized communities to build an understanding of the systemic causes of their shared struggles.\nTurn Passion into Action – We equip communities with the tools to drive narratives\, activate discussions\, and challenge oppression.\nShake the Foundations of Power – Through participatory theatre\, we disrupt the status quo and fight for liberatory change. \nOur Guiding Principles:\nLived experience is a form of expertise – Any conversation about injustice must be shaped by those who live it. Their perspectives\, experiences\, and leadership drive our work.\nParticipation and play are vital in coalition building – Live and interactive performances create space for real dialogue and shared imagining of radical transformation.\nArt is a catalyst for rebellion – Community-driven theatre isn’t just entertainment—it’s resistance. \nThis is more than theatre\, it’s a rehearsal for the revolution. Join us.

SUMMARY:Director's Gathering Salon: Director-Playwright Collaboration
DESCRIPTION:Director-Playwright Collaboration: What Makes It Work?\nFacilitator: Shamus (he/him) | www.justshamus.com\, Social Media: @mononymous_shamus \nHow do we build strong\, respectful collaborations with playwrights — especially when the roles and expectations aren’t always clear? \nDescription from Shamus: In the world of new play development\, the director’s role can shift dramatically depending on whether you’re shaping a reading\, workshop\, or full production. This Salon invites directors to reflect on how we navigate these shifting dynamics in collaboration with living playwrights. \nFacilitated by Shamus\, this conversation will explore the complexities of director-playwright relationships: how we set expectations\, align on vision\, and manage challenges like limited resources\, differing working styles\, and unclear expectations. With honesty and humility (including a few lessons learned the hard way)\, Shamus will prompt an open discussion about how directors can better support the creative process without overstepping—and what practices help foster trust\, clarity\, and artistic synergy. \nWhether you’re working with emerging writers or established voices\, this is a space to share insights\, compare approaches\, and build collective wisdom around what makes these collaborations thrive.
