    Abstract
    Intersectionality is a complex issue that provokes strong emotions. Through participation in theatre-based activities, participants will learn how interactive theatre can be used to raise awareness, engage diverse perspectives, promote empathy, and foster respectful dialogue about identity and oppression. Participants will reflect on their own thoughts, feelings, and experiences and will leave with a visceral understanding of how these techniques work to create unique opportunities for honest conversation and alliance-building. GOAL/OUTCOME #1 Participants will learn how theatre-based techniques can be used to raise awareness and engage diverse perspectives GOAL/OUTCOME #2 Participants will learn how theatre-based techniques can be used to promote empathy and build alliances between individuals both from and within diverse groups GOAL/OUTCOME #3 Participants will engage in several theatre-based activities and will leave with step-by-step instructions for how to lead them with groups of their own
