Despite having done theatre for many years, this was the first I'd ever heard about this style of performance. I'm trying to think of ways to incorporate forum theatre into what I do, especially as I am planning to do lots of directing in the future. I think it could be really revolutionary if the department started teaching/performing less traditional styles of theatre.]]> 2022-03-07 01:53:46 UTC https://padlet.com/drjoycejoyce/7vcf498cs4v5bsdy/wish/2080548374 Thoughts 3/6 joseph_2021 https://padlet.com/drjoycejoyce/7vcf498cs4v5bsdy/wish/2080720724 This week I have been interested in the Invisible Theatre concept. I have always thought of Theatre as a one way performance, with occasional 4th wall situations; however, in the invisible theatre concept, the audience is not just acknowledging their own presence (like a classic production breaking the 4th wall) they are inundated in the production. I am tempted to say that this is not theatre, because the audience has no knowledge of it. It seems more like a live case study. I am also skeptical of the morals of the audience not being told they are in a production. I would want to be told I am in a production that would potentially be filmed. 

During the play on Wednesday, I loved the way the narrator interacted with the audience, and I want to imagine the audience being more involved. So, in another sense--contrary to my previous skepticism with the invisible play-- I want to be in an invisible theatre production.]]> 2022-03-07 03:37:47 UTC https://padlet.com/drjoycejoyce/7vcf498cs4v5bsdy/wish/2080720724 The last best small town response and reflection https://padlet.com/drjoycejoyce/7vcf498cs4v5bsdy/wish/2080766667 At first glance, what struck me immediately about the show was the set. I was enamored with how both houses (that of the Millers and the Gonzalez families) were set up in a dollhouse point of view where the audience was forced to look inside the lives of suburban families. The Millers most of all, as the family tried its best to put on a face of perfection for the rest of the town. Maya even said so herself, explaining how the birthday party wasn't even for her, but instead for the image of the family. From here the dichotomies between the two families is born. The Millers, so obsessed with appearance while the Gonzales family wanted to achieve relative financial stability and see their son go to college. The families are introduced with very stark, surface level differences, only connected by their children and the superficiality of neighboring. Either way, the beauty of this play wasn't in the differences, but within the similarities. The two families struggled financially, they wanted to keep up appearances, they had hopes and dreams they had to give up for various reasons. Especially as it seemed the main discourse in this play surrounded expectation and reality. There was no happy ending, the family that had everything seemed to lose it all in a second. And the family who barely scraped by patched themselves together again and moved on. Thus the message is clear, life goes on and it doesn't wait for anybody. It takes a great deal of courage to do what you want and how loving someone involves a conscious choice to give a part of yourself up. 

In a more contentious notion, I do believe there were too many symbols in this play that clouded the trajectory of the story. It felt unfinished almost. I understood the main points, but the slice of life nature of this play allowed it to move very slowly and predictably. There was definitely some character development missing, Elliots plot line ran EXTREMELY flat and he was the main character. Actually, all of the characters felt like background. Nobody seemed to develop at all. Perhaps that was the beauty of it; the realism of the whole situation. Sure Elliot bought the house of the rich white family showcasing upward mobility but he still married at 20/21 and ended up working at the car shop so he is in the same position as his father DESPITE having the opportunity to leave the town. Maya left, the exact thing she wanted to do, but returned after graduating because despite all of her privilege she was still unhappy. So, in a very similar position as her mother: disillusioned.  The play made a huge circle and I do not feel like I have been moved or changed at all by the play itself much less so than the performance itself. 
In a more personal manner, another bone I have to pick is with the graduation scene. And as much as it pains me to say, In the Heights had a much better story when it came to generational expectations when attached to college. As a child of a Mexican immigrant myself, I was all but pressured into an economics degree or one with "value", I was pushed into lucrative careers and told to work hard just like my dad. It is debilitating, but you do it for your family. Elliot making a circle despite making it out is not the symbol the play thinks it is. In The Heights highlights Nina's dropping out of Stanford because the expectations on her quite literally broke her, and it was from that rock bottom that she was able to make a choice for herself. Elliot did NOT have this. A simple conversation with your grandfather does not constitute rock bottom or a life changing moment. It is okay to strive for your goals and miss, it is okay to achieve mediocrity and be okay with that comfortability. I just wish that the play delved further into the effects of Elliot's choice on his parents and how their lives didn't actually change that much despite him doing ALL of that for them. At least then, there would've been some movement. ]]> 2022-03-07 03:55:07 UTC https://padlet.com/drjoycejoyce/7vcf498cs4v5bsdy/wish/2080766667 How do you know if you're burning out? drjoycejoyce https://padlet.com/drjoycejoyce/7vcf498cs4v5bsdy/wish/2081106464 For me exhaustion is definitely a sign!

He's a social worker, somatic experiencing professional, and trauma consultant:

"Clean pain is pain that mends and can build your capacity for growth. It's the pain you experience when you know, exactly, what you need to say or do; when you really, really don't want to say or do it; and when you do it anyway. It's also the pain you experience when you have no idea what to do; when you are scared or worried about what might happen; then when you step forward into the unknown anyway, with honesty and vulnerability. 
 
Experiencing clean pain enables us to engage our integrity and tap into our bodies and inherent resilience and coherence, in a way that dirty pain does not. Paradoxically only by walking into our pain or discomfort - experiencing it, moving through it, and metabolising it - can we grow. It's how the human body works. 
 
Clean pain hurts like hell. But it enables our bodies to grow through our difficulties, develop nuanced skills, and mend our trauma. In this process, the body metabolizes clean pain. The body can then settle; more room for growth is created in its nervous system; and the self becomes freer and more capable, because it now has access to energy that was previously protected, bound, and constricted. When this happens, people's lives often improve in other ways as well. 
 
Dirty pain is the pain of avoidance, blame, and denial. When people respond from their most wounded parts, become cruel or violent, or physically or emotionally run away, they experience a dirty pain. They also create more of it for themselves and others." (pg19-20)

*Menakem got this terminology from his mentors Dr. David Schnarch and Dr. Steven Hayer, but defines the terms now in his own way . . . .

"What upsets me the most today is how all of the care and treatment have been taken over by the medical profession. You have to have medical case management. In the early days, we could take people on a retreat. We had funding where we could take them on a retreat with our traditional healers. We could build a sweat lodge, we could take them in the woods and show them different plant medicine. You know, it’s like, can we do that today? Hell, no. Because everything has to be evidence-based and based on Western science, not based on what we know.
The thing that kept Carole laFavor alive when the doctor said, “Go home and prepare to die,” was Indian medicine, Indian plant-based medicine. And unless they can study it and put it under—even like with our sweats, this doctor once said to me, “It’d be really great if we could look at the blood cells before they went into sweat.”
So that’s the thing that irritates me today is, the cultural groups that we used to be able to do, those are all gone. All we can do now is test and navigate. And there are no more people living with HIV who are working in programs. You know, it’s all MSWs [Master of Social Work degrees], and even the doctors. Everything we did in the beginning was based on a movement, and everything we do today, you know, is based on medicine, Western science. So me, I long for those old days, where people with passion worked in this field. Now it’s just another—it’s like diabetes, and it’s not like diabetes."

They said that they did know about SEL and that their high school implemented it for many years. He said it was useful but did not solve the student health crisis (which I will not go into). This was mainly caused by social pressure, induced by parents and the education system as a whole. Even with training, he said that students still talked about how many AP classes they were taking or how their tests went. The culture did not change with students knowing about SEL. ]]> 2022-03-23 05:07:42 UTC https://padlet.com/drjoycejoyce/7vcf498cs4v5bsdy/wish/2108997386 Response Maladjusted https://padlet.com/drjoycejoyce/7vcf498cs4v5bsdy/wish/2111317637 Upon the opening 30 minutes of the play, I immediately felt something very familiar. From the vignette style action blurbs to the audience participation, to the rawness of the human condition, I was able to draw a connection to another show I had the pleasure of being in around 4 years ago called Brainstorm. Brainstorm was a compilation of personal stories, anecdotes, passions, dreams, and experiences both from on stage and audience where actor and spectator alike were confronted with the trials and tribulations of adolescence and relationships with parents/ourselves. This 4th wall translucency is something I would like to incorporate in our devised piece. I also appreciated the walking through of each theme and checking in with the audience throughout. Ultimately, it is a conversation with moving examples. I almost forgot how much I loved this style of theater. Although this is a little more serious than the participation of the audience in Brainstorm, the idea is there. This is about entering the space, placing people you know (or yourself) into the shoes of those acting. These are real stories, real experiences. I remember when my friend Julia, in our production, gave this phenomenal monologue about generational pressure that brought the audience to tears every night. There was no need to question the audience because they felt it, they replaced Julia with themselves, Julia wasn't speaking to them but through them. The moment was amazing. That is what this piece felt like. ]]> 2022-03-24 07:33:38 UTC https://padlet.com/drjoycejoyce/7vcf498cs4v5bsdy/wish/2111317637 White Privilege Conference Sessions josheeisenberg https://padlet.com/drjoycejoyce/7vcf498cs4v5bsdy/wish/2112446528 My area is watching sessions from the annual White Privilege Conference. One on Tuesday and one today. The first was led by @vernonAwall about myths of Social Justice and the second was by Dr. Rev. Ben Boswell on confronting Whiteness. Both were excellent. Wanted to share the 10 from the first though:

* Social justice is a "vague" concept with no real scholarly basis
* Social justice is just "diversity" and "multiculturalism" renamed
* Talking about SJ moves us away from conversations on racism, sexism, homophobia, etc
* SJ is about winning an issue debate.
* There is no difference between "intersectionality" and "intersecting identities"
* The concepts of spirituality and SJ are not compatible.
* SJ focuses on "action" rather than "personal work"
* Students who have studied abroad are more aware of SJ issues
* Students aren't interested in SJ issues.
* SJ is a "liberal" cause for idealists]]> 2022-03-24 18:29:17 UTC https://padlet.com/drjoycejoyce/7vcf498cs4v5bsdy/wish/2112446528 joseph_2021 https://padlet.com/drjoycejoyce/7vcf498cs4v5bsdy/wish/2116610781 This articles says that emotional intelligence is a better predictor of GPA success than standardized tests.

It was clear that interpersonal and systemic conflicts resulted in inequitable differences in treatment. It was hard to watch conflicts between two individuals play out and satisfying to watch them get untangled ever so slightly by audience members. But how would such a process work on a national scale, where the needs are so much more varied on a person to person basis and the operative power does not necessarily lie in one person’s hands? How would this process differ for something like a UN conference room when there are so many players?

I loved the real-life problem solving, audience engagement, collective exploration, the ties to public policy, and the way in which there's an underlying message that there is not one single correct answer to things. 
I was especially captivated by the prompts that the facilitator used to move the action forward and further explore motivations/unspoken emotions/desires, etc. For example:
  • What are "her real thoughts" or the character's "secret"
  • "Take an action to get what you want"
  • "What does ______ need to conquer?"
"Make the shape of the strongest emotion"

Lastly, this quote really stood out to me, "You don't have to agree, just understand."

- “Creating safety along with the artistic embrace of the unknown has been a major focal point of training”
- Robert Wright defines the moral imagination as “the ability to put ourselves in the shoes of other people, especially people in circumstances very different from our own”
- “The artfulness enables the dialogue; the dialogue in the basis for the art”
- “When my experience is reflected accurately in the spontaneous, artistic, and physical expression of others, I have the kinesthetic conviction that I have been understood”
- “Theatre as a memory-creating process can invite people to transform traumatic personal memory into collective historical memory and consequently help society to move on”
- “These spectators became witnesses and co-owners of each other’s stories through the very act of listening”
- “PT honors the subjective account of the teller”
- “You have to know… where your own self ends and the other begins”
- “A socially contained but artistically unlimited space”

Though the practice itself seems very dependent on the individual and their needs, it essentially uses embodied movement for psychological healing (or at least, from what I gathered). People can explore emotions, situations, and trauma by focusing on the psyche, body, spirit, and relationships by doing improv, visualization, meditation, or even group scenes. I wonder if there are aspects from drama therapy we can incorporate to make our final project even more engaging (without venturing into anything triggering of course!).

  • The pressure neoliberal capitalism places on "success" that encourages individualistic and exclusive, or competitive behaviors that can undermine the success of less privileged students

  • Lack of adequate and equal access to spaces and other resources, like mental health care
