Come Play, Explore, and Connect!

Come Play, Explore, and Connect! TO Game Day is part play, part somatics and part liberatory action! It’s joyful, creative, embodied and helps us better understand ourselves and each other and to imagine and rehearse for future action. Free for all!

Theatre of the Oppressed Game Day is a fun and meaningful time to spend moving, creating and sharing together! This event is a supportive and welcoming space for anyone curious to try something new, dive into deep exploration, or simply share meaningful experiences with others. Games are scaffolded to ensure everyone can participate comfortably.

What is Theatre of the Oppressed (TO)? Theatre of the Oppressed (TO) is a transformative framework of embodied, creative techniques used worldwide for social and political activism, conflict resolution, community building, therapy, and even shaping government legislation. It challenges us to analyze, question, and explore rather than simply accept or answer.

Who is it for? TO is for everyone! You don’t need any prior experience in theatre or acting. Whether you're an activist, artist, mover, shaker, or someone who enjoys meaningful connections, TO welcomes you.

What to Expect:

• Collaborative Topic Creation: We'll come together to decide the themes we want to explore for the day.

• Games Galore: From silly games that spark laughter to deep, reflective games that provoke thought, there’s something for everyone.

• Community Connection: Reflect, discuss, and connect with others in a safe, trust-filled environment.

Why Join? Whether you're new to TO or a seasoned veteran, this event is an opportunity to:

• Explore complex topics creatively.

• Build meaningful connections.

• Step out of your head and into your body.
