“White Fragility is a state in which even a minimum amount of racial stress becomes intolerable, triggering a range of defensive moves. These moves include the outward display of emotions such as anger, fear, and guilt, and behaviors such as argumentation, silence, and leaving the stress-inducing situation.” —Robin DiAngelo

Come workshop white fragility for two evenings with Philadelphia Theatre of the Oppressed. In part one, popular education and theatre games build group solidarity and chip away at the iceberg of whiteness—that which we see manifests as white fragility, white beneath the surface lie dense systems of white supremacy. In part two we create quick little performances that make the invisible visible (and maybe even comical) as tools for interrupting and dismantling racism.

Email “tophilly@gmail.com ” to sign up, or call 267-282-1057. Tuition is sliding scale, $0-$25.

Note: This workshop is an ideal companion to our Unpacking Race: 2017 Workshop Series, both for people who will be joining T.O. Philly for Unpacking Race in March, as well as those who have Unpacked Race with us in the past.

ALSO: There will be a short showing of things generated from this workshop as part of Scratch Night on April 3 at Fringearts. More on that soon!
