This is an introduction to our EDIT training (Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion in Theatre). Participants in this workshop will gain shared language and frameworks for understanding what systemic oppression (racism, sexism, ableism, heterosexism etc.) is and its relationship to white dominant culture in theatre. Through historical analysis and self-reflection, participants will strengthen their understanding of position, power, and privilege to consider their role in upholding and dismantling institutional practices and norms of systemic oppression. Finally, participants will learn the 5 D's of bystander intervention and work through a real theatre scenario to apply these concepts.
