The Empowerment Dynamic (TED*):
The Empowerment Dynamic is a method to inspire change developed by David Emerald. The heart of this work involves honestly assessing one’s current reality and shifting from a victim orientation to an empowered creator resulting in an action plan to achieve desired outcomes.
Benefits from TED*:

  • You are in control of situations rather than relying on the other party to rescue you.
  • The Empowerment mindset encourages you to act and get things done.
  • The Empowerment mindset allows you to avoid being manipulated or being manipulative in situations.
  • You will be focused on your objectives, whether in personal or professional matters.
  • The Empowerment Dynamic provides a vocabulary for navigating difficult topics.
TED* Sample Workshops:
  1. Where is My Focus?
    • Am I focusing on problems or outcomes?
  2. How am I Relating?
    • How am I relating to others, to my experience, and myself?
    • Am I producing or perpetuating drama or empowering others and myself to be more resourceful, resilient, and innovative?
  3. What Actions am I Taking?
    • Am I reacting to the problems of the moment or taking creative action in service to outcomes?
Theatre of the Oppressed (TO):
TO is an interactive, physical, and playful tool used to investigate situations in which basic rights are denied, personally and collectively. Theatrical debate is used to uncover the many possible alternatives to these real-life challenges. By imagining and rehearsing solutions together “onstage,” we prepare ourselves to take action” offstage.” This program empowers the participants to become catalysts for change in their own lives and communities. Every person is an actor in his or her own life: absolutely no theatre experience necessary.
TO Sample Workshops:
Intro to Theatre of the Oppressed (1.5 – 2 hours)
Number of Participants: Maximum: 30. Minimum: 12.
Engage in the core exercises from the arsenal of TO and participate in a theatre demonstration. These theatre games encourage “de-mechanization” of the body and the mind: when we are stuck in the patterns of action and thought, unable to freely be ourselves, secure our human rights, follow our own dreams, and be true leaders in our communities. Connecting the tool of TO to human rights and oppression as it affects your community through dialogue and brainstorming.

In-Depth Intro with Scene Development (5 – 7 hours)
Number of participants: Maximum: 30. Minimum: 12
A more in-depth exploration and application of Theatre of the Oppressed. Participants will create short scenes around community issues.
Technique is introduced, then Individuals share challenges faced. The group chooses, casts, improvises, and scripts these stories. Rehearsal techniques from the TO arsenal are used to develop the scenes. We collect found, recycled materials to create costumes and set. All artistic choices are made by the actors in each scene. Finally, we perform the forums, and the audience becomes involved as “spect-actors,” to offer interventions and alternatives to the problems. Thus, the entire community learns to address problems collectively and creatively.

Retreats

Why a Retreat?

Drama is the number one obstacle for groups working together to achieve a goal. Drama sucks the energy, detracts focus, and impacts the morale of individuals and teams. All too often we are driven by our internal and external critics and that leads to toxicity. The tough part? Naming it. Recognizing it. It is like quicksand. Once you step into it you can lose your footing and get sucked under. It is a human response to the flight, fight, freeze, or appease mode. And the cost? Precious time, money, energy, relationships, desires, dreams.

Retreats are an opportunity to take on the challenge of transforming the drama. They are two-day or three-day events of deep dive sessions crafted for or groups to make sustained performance improvements in clarity, decision making, promise-based management, visionary leadership, and gracious accountability skills.
