Abstract
Rehearsal for the Revolution applies theater games and exercises to help college students grapple with social justice issues relevant in their own communities. Through this 1-credit class, students from Syracuse University’s Honors Program discover what oppression looks like in their daily lives, what roles they want to play in overcoming oppression, and what practical steps they will take to create a more ideal world. Rehearsal for the Revolution empowers students through collaborative game playing and in depth discussion with their supportive community of classmates. This methodology is informed by Theatre of the Oppressed. I have collected materials useful for grant applications, specifically CNY Arts’ Decentralization Grant in Arts in Education. Additionally, I have included materials to assess the class, a short video documentary of the class (by Katie Zilcosky), and a brochure to market similar classes in the future.
