The Arts ExCHANGE Project is a unique, cross-continental collaboration between Stage Left Productions (Canada) and Third Way Theatre (Australia) – two renown Theatre of the Oppressed companies founded and led by diverse women – who invite daring agents of change to go beyond the social justice status quo.

Our IN-Justice Training Intensives offer . . . 
  1. A theoretical understanding of the principles and values that underpin social justice;
  2. A practical understanding of how to apply Theatre of the Oppressed to social justice practice;
  3. The ability to intervene across individual, social and structural spheres of influence, in solidarity with Others. 

Both trainings immerse participants in embodied ways of learning and collaborating, which open-up new possibilities for marginalized people's' full and equal participation in society.

Participants can expect to . . .
  1. Integrate Theatre of the Oppressed into our own work;
  2. Experience the potency of embodied learning and sharing; 
  3. Learn a common social justice vocabulary, analysis and process;
  4. Expand our knowledge of "diversity" beyond Identity Politics and binaries;
  5. Enjoy compassionate processes of collective recovery from internal oppressions; and
  6. Enjoy peer-based processes of gaining more confidence in acting against external oppressions. 

​The Arts ExCHANGE project is proudly supported by Chromatic Theatre and Calgary Arts Development. 

We thank the University of Calgary's School for Creative and Performing Arts, for hosting the Calgary intensive.
