U-C IMC Skillshare
IMC Skillshares
The IMC is all about sharing our time & talents with those around us. A skillshare is a space/place where we learn from one another- a place for sharing practical skills to live more happy, creative, and sustainable lives. Learning is plentiful, happens everywhere, and doesn't need to come with price tags or expert degrees. We are all teachers. We are all students. We want to live with enthusiasm, so let us learn with vigor!
Got a skill to share? Support the IMC community by offering up your skills. You don't need to be a seasoned teacher- this informal setting is a great way to share your wealth, and we're available to answer any questions and help promote it.

12:00p Theater of the Oppressed- Elizabeth Simpson (one hour)
Based on the work of Augusto Boal, in this workshop we will engage in participatory theater designed to explore the oppressions of everyday life. We will use exercises and techniques to brainstorm solutions and rehearse practical responses. Participants will leave the workshop with hands-on tactics to use in their lives and a deeper understanding of the complexity of such issues. The topics we address will be based on the life-experiences of the group, e.g. ablity, race, class, gender, orientation, and adultism. Those interested are invited to continue participating in monthly TOP workshops at future skillshares.
