Project Description
MCT is launching a new Forum Theatre project to catalyze positive change in support of seniors in the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. We aim to increase awareness of the challenges that this community experiences to foster intergenerational support and catalyze change.
We will host a series of in-person and virtual workshops with 2SLGBTQIA+ seniors in Ontario. Through fun theatre games and exercises, participants will build solidarity with one another as they share their stories, experiences, and the challenges they face.
These sessions will involve theatrical explorations, facilitated discussions, and opportunities for mentorship and support. Through this process, our facilitators will work collaboratively with participants to create role-play scenarios that depict universal challenges faced by this community. We intend for this theatrical presentation to eventually be presented for larger audiences to catalyze critical dialogue and generate new ideas to support this community.
Call for Community Partners
We are looking to partner with organizations that serve senior 2SLGBTQIA+ communities to host workshops with their groups (in-person or virtually), and/or to disseminate the information to organizations in their network that might want to host workshops.
If you work with seniors in this community and are interested in participating in the project, write to our team about how you can get involved!
