On Campus
- Theatre-Based Facilitation Training | June 8-11, 9am-4:30pm
SFU's Centre for Dialogue will host world-renowned David Diamond for a 4-day introduction to practices of Theatre for Living -- an embodied process that invites us to experience theatre as a natural language to tell our collective stories and investigate our common desires and fears. This workshop will offer opportunities to participate in and facilitate a range of Image Theatre games and exercises that can be a powerful tool for teaching, research and community-engaged work.
