liberation through joy & playActive from 2020-2023,
Play for Change, was led by Tanya Nixon-Silberg (Little Uprisings) & Bonnie Duncan (The Gottabees). Play for Change were immersive theatrical experiences for families featuring puppetry, live music and art-making to talk about power, joy and liberation. Tanya and Bonnie brought their expertise as educators for racial justice and theater makers for young audiences to empower youth to imagine themselves as change makers, to practice being change makers, and to ultimately be the change makers. |
Space for Change
an interactive community adventure
Space for Change was a space built over time by small groups of participants. To create Space for Change, families worked in community to build a safe space for all using simple materials, a little theatricality, live music, and a lot of joy. Once the space was created, participants were invited to reflect on their experience and their lives as a community.
