Wild is the Wind

Posted Mon, 07/04/2011 - 17:25 by alisa

"Wild is the Wind" from Nina Simone's original song and album (1964) entitles our collective for artistic and theatrical community antics. We invite local artists, actors, playwrights, poets, musicians, community organizers and anyone with an affinity for communal expression of love, rebeldia, and social irreverence.

Join us monthly at encuentro 5 to develop skits and games using Boal's Theater of the Oppressed, Living Theater, Playback Theater, and other techniques. 

Bring your poetry, music, dance, plays and situations to enact.
Final products will be performed on stage seasonally at encuentro 5.

Transforming Conflict Series

Posted Tue, 05/31/2011 - 01:41 by alisa

What is conflict?

Conflict is not only something that exists "out there." We also struggle with conflict amongst each other, in our groups, and at home. How can we address these internal and external challenges collectively and overcome antagonism in ways that reflect our visions for a just world? MESA sin fronteras presents a series of participatory workshops that explore various creative techniques in understanding, facing, and resolving situations of conflict together as a community.
