‘Others’: Transforming Dehumanisation (Theatre of the Oppressed Workshop. Tasmania)

In times when division seems inevitable and collective imagination feels captured by forces of separation, how do we remember that our deepest human longing transcends political boundaries? How do we create spaces where all people - regardless of where they find themselves politically - can reconnect with what makes us fundamentally human? What happens when we protect ourselves by dehumanising others?

This interactive workshop invites us into aesthetic dialogue and embodied exploration, using collective creation to confront both external oppression and our internalised limitations. Through techniques like 'rainbow of desire' and 'cops in the head,' we practice consensus-building and discover new ways of being together.
