Facilitation Debrief and concerns
We discussed different aspects of facilitation, such as neutrality and how the facilitator participation is more about exploring rather than imposing. In addition, we talked about how to identify your real voice and the power we have as facilitators of Theatre of the Oppressed.
Always remember that we are making art.
Activity 1: Glass Cobra
The way I perceived this activity is based on the idea of experiencing the other by exploring your senses. It involves touching the other with your eyes closed and using your hands to connect with the outside world, the people surrounding you.
Activity 2: PLAY MAKING
Today participants started creating their performance for the Forum Theatre that is happening tomorrow Friday.
They all look very interesting, with a large variety of themes all interconnected –gender roles, voice, stereotypes, patriarchal system, power and majorities, the system under which we live and the expectations it brings on everybody.
After a detailed process of choosing themes, analyzing them and creating images, participants came out with 5 stories-performances.
I am really excited to see all of them tomorrow.
Activity 4: Simulation on training and facilitation
Some of the participants had the opportunity to practice their facilitation skills. After, the ones that leaded the activities, received feedback.
Activity 5: Magnets game and closing
Finally, the Forum Theatre is happening tomorrow! Let see how it goes –hopefully amazing!
