Ma'yan's Social Justice Apprenticeship

That’s Not Fair!: Ma’yan’s Social Justice Apprenticeship returns for a second season of political theater examining issues related to privilege and inequality. Using data collected by Ma’yan’s high school Research Training Interns, apprentices will continue to pursue the question, “Who is served by our community service?”

The apprentices will work alongside the Ma’yan staff and guest artists, including renowned puppeteer and director Jenny Romaine. Jenny has worked with the the legendary Bread & Puppet Theater company and Chinese Theater Works. She also co-founded the OBIE awarding-winning performance collective Great Small Works.

Apprentices will learn performance, group process, and Theater of the Oppressed techniques, and will work collaboratively on every phase of production.  This program will culminate in a series of performances where the apprentices will facilitate community discussions about how to act on the research findings and make change.   February through May 2012. Sixteen weekday evenings plus occasional Sundays.

No experience is necessary for the program!  Girls in 7th through 12th grades are invited to apply.  Space is limited.  Please contact Pippi Kessler at Pippi@mayan.org
