Drawing from her book Performing Corporate Bodies, she discusses how theatre techniques, such as role play and improvisation are used not just for team-building, but as tools to instil corporate values, promote behavioural development, and align employees with company ideologies.Sarah challenges the traditional view of Applied Theatre as solely activist or liberatory, arguing that in corporate contexts, these methods often blur the lines between empowerment and control. Through ethnographic case studies, she highlights how theatre is employed in tech firms, luxury brands, and even post-apartheid workplaces sometimes reinforcing hierarchies, other times offering cathartic release or subtle resistance.Our conversation unpacks how this evolving practice reshapes ideas of community, identity, and agency, particularly in neoliberal work environments. We chatted about navigating the emotional complexity for both facilitators and participants, raising significant questions about the ethics of theatrical interventions in profit-driven spaces. Thank you Sarah for sharing your thought-provoking research exploring the power and politics of Applied Performance in unexpected places.BUY Sarah's Book HERE!:https://www.amazon.co.uk/Performing-Corporate-Bodies-Multinational-Performance/dp/1032421428Sarah's links:Website - https://baruch.cuny.edu/profiles/faculty/Sarah-SaddlerApplied Theatre Podcast:X - @ApptheatrepodInstagram - @AppliedTheatrePodEmail - appliedtheatrepodcast@gmail.comSubscribe on Spotify, Apple & Google Podcasts and Youtube (w/subtitles) - Applied Theatre Podcast#theatre #appliedtheatre #appliedtheatrepodcast #podcast #SarahSaddler #PerformingCorporateBodies

In this episode we have Rabbi Sofia Zway to share sacred Jewish birth rituals. We talk about various routes to bring ritual into this sacred period of time, nourishing mama, stepping into this new version of motherhood by marking time, and healing birth trauma. Rabbi Sofia and Erin share parts of their natural labors and diverse practices they used to heal birth trauma. Rabbi Sofia talks about Mikvah, lighting candles and co-creating new prayers/rituals to feel supportive on your personalized motherhood journey. Please note the psalm Sofia refers to is 126. Rabbi Sofia Zway was born in Ecuador to two South African parents, but spent most of her life in South Africa. As a rabbi, she's had the privilege of serving diverse communities in Cape Town, New York, Los Angeles and Las Cruces, NM. Sofia and her husband, Rabbi Brett Kopin, are thrilled to be building sacred community in Los Angeles together as the rabbinic couple behind Base LA, a home-based community for Jews in their 20s and 30s. She received her Honors degree in Applied Theatre from the University of Cape Town and her Master of Arts and Rabbinic Ordination from Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion in Los Angeles. She is also a DONA-trained birth doula. Sofia is passionate about the intersection of Judaism and birth and hopes to incorporate birth work into her rabbinate.

In this episode, Ashanti Bentil-Dhue interviews Lucy Ferguson, a DEI practitioner and author who has been working for many years as a gender specialist and trainer, providing gender equality training to various organisations and individuals.  “ All of the people who come on our courses are very skilled in their particular knowledge area. But the main thing that they say is that they lack confidence as a trainer. So I tried to give them that confidence through giving them the theory and the practice and the chance to put it into practice. We create together a very horizontal learning environment where everyone feels safe to make mistakes. So you make the mistakes in this friendly environment, and get very good, solid, constructive feedback about how you can improve. Then you get the chance to practise several times so that you come out feeling much more confident. ” Episode Highlights:  ● What gender equality training is and why it's important ● What it means to be a good trainer in the virtual environment ● The importance of being accessible and inclusive About Lucy Ferguson:    Dr Lucy Ferguson is a specialist in training for gender equality. She has designed and delivered training on gender equality for a wide range of organisations, including: UN Women, World Health Organization, UN World Tourism Organization, OSCE, Indian Ocean Rim Association and Commonwealth Secretariat.

Georgia Bowers is an applied theatre practitioner, researcher and academic currently undertaking her PhD at the University of Portsmouth and her research is interested in learning about how theatre can be used to disrupt the established narratives around ageing, and the impact this may have on participants. Georgia speaks about the ways that applied theatre might be able to create shame resilience among older adults. Georgia's interest in this area started from a summer job as an activities coordinator in a care home, which provoked her to address her pre-conceptions about working with older adults and instead open up and be inspired by the vibrance and energy of her collaborators. She then began to develop an applied theatre practice by setting up a theatre company within the care home which helped the collective of residents tell their stories, learn about each other and build community. Her research builds on these experiences and seeks to measure what difference theatre can make to adults over 65 who take part in a regular theatrical intervention.

Loved speaking with Shereen, Director of Taking Part @ Young Vic Theatre, London. A conversation with Shereen had been recommended to me by a colleague, who described her as a powerhouse in the world of Applied Theatre'. She certainly lived up to her reputation, inspiring and amazing me with her passion for the incredible work she produces and the theatre she represents. Over the course of the episode we discussed: · Her pathway into her current role at Young Vic · Experience of training at Royal Central School of Speech and Drama · How Theatres can become more collaborative and representative of their communities · ‘Taking Part' @ Young Vic. How the theatre operates and what it offers for its young people and local community · The ‘TWENTY TWENTY' Project @ Young Vic.Thank you, Shereen for your time. ‘Shereen Jasmin Phillips graduated from Royal Central School of Speech and Drama in 2010 with a degree in Drama, Applied Theatre and Education. She has worked in the artistic and creative learning departments of a variety of London Theatre's working with community groups of all ages for over ten years. She was Project Manager for Kiln Theatre's 2016 Takeover festival, Barbican Centre's 2017 Dialogue Festival and Outreach Producer for Barbican Cinema.

Today you will meet Kathryn “Katie” Yohe, the co-founder and Executive Director of the A.B.L.E Ensemble, a Chicago-based performing arts non-profit that works with teenagers and young adults with cognitive and developmental disabilities, like down syndrome, autism, cerebral palsy-among others. Their members range from their mid-teens to their late twenties and early thirties. As Katie said during the interview, once you are accepted into A.B.L.E, you can stay for as long as you like. In addition to being a place for the members to showcase their creative expression, in whatever way fits them, it is also a second home. For young disabled adults, life changes dramatically as they enter adulthood. One of Ms. Yohe's objectives is to always be present for her performers and their families.  To be a constant in an ever-changing world. During the interview, we learn about Katie's childhood, putting on theatrical performances at home, and the eventual pursuit of her initial dream to become a classically trained theatre performer under the bright lights of Broadway.  A series of serendipitous events eventually led to the creation of the A.B.L.E. Ensemble. Through Katie's training in Applied Theatre, and with the collaboration of Teaching Artists and Facilitators, her team creates original stories in partnership with their actors or adapts classical theatre works, like Shakespeare, to modern times and to reflect the diversity of abilities within their ensembles.    Even though Katie's goals changed, she still accomplished her dreams. In the last five years, she has brought her love of performance and its transformative magic to young people who currently have no space in traditional theatre. She created a space for them, to be unapologetically themselves. To learn more about the A.B.L.E. Ensemble, go to https://www.ableensemble.com To learn more about Aging Wisely: The Podcast, go to: https://www.agingwiselypodcast.com

How can we tackle issues such as colourism and intergenerational conflict within communities? With theatre of course! This week's guest is director, playwright and theatre maker, Grace Edward. Grace has an incredible story; born in South Sudan, Grace left their homeland at 3 years old on their mother’s back. Grace’s family moved from place to place for a few years, including a refugee camp in Kenya, until they moved to Australia when Grace was 8 years old. They studied Applied Theatre alongside our host, Brea, and strongly believe in the power of storytelling as a tool to understand one another better. Through their creative projects, Grace explores different aspects of what it means to be a third-culture child and a person of colour, living in Australia today. They have co-written, produced and directed two theatre productions in Brisbane ‘Linking generations: A forum theatre play’ and ‘Skin Deep’ which explored the ideology of colourism within People of Colour Communities. Grace has spoken around Australia on a range of issues including youth leadership, education, health, intergenerational conflict, systemic racism, and displacement. Grace now draws from their life experience to create theatre that tells the real stories of people in their community. Be sure to follow Grace...

Framing Whiteness in Liberation pt. 1 WHBLE founder, Ah-Keisha McCants talks with Applied Theatre Practitioner and Project Director at the CUNY Creative Arts Team (CAT) Mícheál Curtin about the surfacing the awareness of white identity, centering antiracism and history, the role of capitalism, the brilliance of arts educators, and the tensions around pedagogies and practices on the journey towards educational liberation. Mícheál Curtin is an applied theatre practitioner from Brooklyn, New York who specializes in drama-in-education, process drama, theatre of the oppressed, and devised theatre. His work centers on creating theatre in response to communities' needs as a way of en-livening conversation, making meaning, and developing theory. He is currently a Project Director at the CUNY Creative Arts Team (CAT), where he directs a theatre-in-education program in six high schools around New York City. With the Literacy through Drama team at CAT, Mícheál and six multi-ethnic actor-teachers develop theatre workshops around topics such as romantic and sexual relationships, policing and racist systems, loyalty, the power of language, immigration, and isolation. The team creates curriculum in response to the young people's interests, needs, and concerns. For this reason they sometimes focus on skill-building around communication, self-efficacy, study skills, and career & college readiness. A speaker of Irish Gaelic, Mícheál works periodically in Ireland toward the revitalization of the language, whose speakership has declined over the centuries (from 100% to about 3% of the population) as a result of colonialism by the English. He uses drama, storytelling, and popular education methodologies in native-speaker communities as well as in learner communities to teach the language as well as generate dialogue and meaning around it. “I have found that learning my ancestral language has given me a surer footing in my work at home in the US.” Mícheál has also done applied theatre work in Rwanda with the CUNY School of Professional Studies M.A. in Applied Theatre (2011, 12), with Latinx communities in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, with LGBTQIA+ youth at The Door (a youth center in Manhattan), and in countless public schools around New York City as a teaching artist. He proudly holds an M.A. in Applied Theatre from the CUNY School of Professional Studies. Mícheál dreams of a world in which “everyone, myself included, is free to love, enjoy, celebrate, and create. I believe the biggest barriers to achieving this are white supremacist capitalism and neocolonialism. I believe that our ability to play, imagine, and create together are powerful assets in the struggle to dismantle these forces.” --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/whble/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/whble/support

Applying Theatre pt. 2 WHBLE founder, Ah-Keisha McCants talks with Applied Theatre educator, Ashleigh Bragg about the role of storytelling, embodying nature, health education, and BIPOC & LGBTQ youth representation as liberation within schools. Ashleigh Estelle Bragg is originally from the West Coast, grew up in Southern California and later in Portland, Oregon where her family of origin currently resides. Ashleigh is an actor-teacher living in New York City for CUNY Creative Arts Team where she serves black and brown students in low income communities at four different high schools in both the Bronx and Brooklyn.

She has facilitated students in middle school, high school, college, English Language Learners, LGBTQ communities, rural areas, immigrant populations, and challenging populations in correctional facilities such as Rikers Island with inmates. She believes the use of Applied Theatre will continue to aid in liberation if we ground our young people in celebrating our roots and where we come from. Through daily actions of compassion and a clear vision of who we are and we are going, we become less fearful of being free. About WHBLE: We make art. We are change makers.

Peter and Tyler welcome C.J. Lewis and Professor David Kaye, Founder & Artistic Director of PowerPlay's Interactive Labs at the University of New Hampshire. Powerplay is an exercise in "applied theater" and UNH is using this innovative method to reach and educate the public on climate change. Theatre has long been used to educate and inform, as well as entertain, but not quite in the way these guys are doing it. David Kaye and C.J believe Applied Theatre is an effective tool reach people on tough complex issues in non-traditional theatre environments like community meeting spaces. The objective of Applied Theatre is to put the audience in the position of "Witness;" to observe teachable moments in a non-judgemental way and create opportunities for professional development, conflict resolution, and social awareness, and change. PowerPlay Interactive Development hopes to spark new thinking and promote dialogue about climate change in ways that help overcome barriers to action.
