We frequently get requests to travel to universities and conferences throughout the United States. We have been as far west as Hawaii, as east as Washington D.C., and many states in between. We are an excellent fit for any campus event focusing on sexual assault prevention/domestic abuse. Due to the fact that sexual assaults are more likely to involve athletes and members of the Greek system (fraternities and sororities), our message is especially useful with members of these populations. In addition, we frequently perform during college student orientations because the research indicates that women are most vulnerable during their first year at a university. Our performance on racism is so powerful because it is comprised of the actual words of students at a large, urban university. We have found that our performance has a profound impact on students, faculty and administrators on any campus where racism is an issue (we believe this includes every campus!). We provide an exciting, experiential alternative to didactic keynote speeches at conferences, and have established a reputation for deeply engaging audience members. Our performances are a wonderful way to set the tone for a conference or convention. We have performed for audiences as small as ten, and as large as 1,200. Our goal is to exceed your expectations!
Both of our interactive scenes require 6 actor-educators and one facilitator. We require airfare, accommodations (typically three rooms per night) ground transportation and a stipend for each performance/workshop. Our performances are usually 75 minutes in length followed by discussion and questions with the audience. Please figure on 90-120 minutes for each performance. We can also offer workshops on specific issues or Theatre of the Oppressed techniques when we visit. Since we receive travel funds from our university, we may be able to defray costs by paying for all or part of the travel expenses.
