This presentation is the result of the hard work of third year Carleton undergraduate students who had the unique opportunity to work alongside OCSB high school students to create a theatrical project that addresses social oppression. Five student led \u201cForum Theatre\u201d plays will be performed, under the umbrella of Augusto Boal\u2019s <em>Theatre of the Oppressed<\/em>. Audience members will be invited to participate as \u201cspect-actors\u201d who intervene in the scenes and advocate for better social outcomes.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"what-to-expect\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What To Expect<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Four-Five student written and performed \u201cforum theatre\u201d scenes<\/li><li>Audience Q and A and Discussion<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The forum scenes have been written by third year Carleton undergraduate students in partnership with OCSB high school students. Through these short plays, students encourage action and reflection on how social determinants such as anti-Black racism, gender, and class negatively impact the livelihood of some young Canadians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"important-event-information\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Important Event Information<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>This event is open to everyone including current Carleton Community members (students, staff, and faculty) and community members (high school students, OCSB students, staff, and faculty, and youth led or- serving organizations).<\/li><li>Registration is required to attend this event.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"presentation-information\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Presentation Information<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Four to Five Student developed forum theatre scenes that assess the intersections of anti-Black racism, gender, and class.
