Spring 2015 Grant Recipient

The Warehouse Project & Gallery (Summit, IL) hosted a Theatre of the Oppressed inspired joker-training with Shannon Ivey (Orangeburg, South Carolina) as the lead facilitator. The joker-training allowed the company to expand on Theatre of the Oppressed facilitation techniques they have begun to use in their work with young audiences to create positive social change.
