Representation in the Performing Arts (Online), London Theatre Consortium

Join
Mezze Eade and Romana Flello from The RinD project on Tuesday 30th
March, 3:30pm – 5:30pm for an introductory workshop on anti-racism in
performing arts classrooms. This session will explore language,
practice, representation, resources, barriers, challenges and solutions
and aims to kick start the journey to decolonising the curriculum and
explore what decolonising means to you and within your schools context.
The session will be of value to teachers working in Drama and Dance, or
using drama texts in English.

The RinD project aims to address
systemic imbalances in KS3, GCSE and A level drama, and support
intersectional anti-racism work happening in UK schools, theatres and
theatre companies. Led by the London Theatre Consortium (LTC), RinD
promotes the study, directing and programming of plays by writers from
the global majority* . The project is supporting schools, theatre and
youth companies to embed anti-racism pedagogy in their practice, build
the skills and confidence in teachers, facilitators and practitioners to
teach and direct texts which represent the lived experience of their
students and young people, and prepare young people to engage
empathetically with Britain’s rich society of heritages and ethnicities.
This work has been supported by the Cultural Learning Alliance.

*
Global majority includes, but is not limited to, artists of African,
North African, South Asian, South East Asian, East Asian, Caribbean,
Latinx, Middle Eastern, Native American, Native Australian, Pacific
Islanders, Roma and Traveller heritage or diaspora, and refers to people
who have experienced racism due to the colour of their skin. We do not
want to lump individuals into one category and try to be specific when
talking about individuals and communities.
