Participatory theater for change

Speak up to your mates!
Inspringtheater and Purple Group are putting together a 4-session program where we’ll use the Theatre of the Oppressed to explore and navigate difficult conversations. We’ll focus especially on those tricky moments when someone close to you is behaving in an unacceptable way (for example around sexual harassment or abuse) and how to actually speak up in those situations.
We’ll be working with the methodology of the Theatre of the Oppressed, which uses theatre as a really practical and interactive tool to understand real-life situations. It’s not about acting, but more about experimenting, stepping into different roles and collectively finding ways to respond, interrupt harmful dynamics and support each other better.
4 Thursday evenings: April 2d, April 16th, April 30th & May14th, 19.00-21.30 (attendence of all the sessions is required)
Only for people living in Droevendaal, All genders, Donation based

Jump in session
The jump in sessions are a monthly, low key opportunity to get to know the Inspringtheater community, to get a bit familiar with the techniques of Theater of the Oppressed and also to release some stress and have a proper energizing break in the middle of your work / study day.
Next Jump in session: Tuesday April 7th from 12.30 to 13.30
The session will take place on the Wageningen University Campus in the Amfitheater, an outside space between the buildings Aurora and Impulse.
Upcoming Events
Inspringtheater at Reclaim the Seeds Nijmegen
Reclaim the seeds is an event that is being organised in different places around the Netherlands all in the theme of seeds. There main part is a seed market to exchange all kinds of seeds. Furthermore, there are discussions, workshops and lectures, all about themes related to seeds. At Reclaim the Seeds Nijmegen and Reclaim the Seeds Wageningen, Inspringtheater will be present to host a workshop. Using techniques of Theatre of the Oppressed, we'll look into the systematic injustices regarding the international seed market, the distribution of seeds and the possibility of farmers to work with their own seeds. Nijmegen, Ecovillage Zuiderveld
