Virtual staged reading
AGENDA
welcome (10 minutes)
staged reading (45 minutes)
The staged reading of WATA will be an abridged version of the full-length play.
feedback session (45 minutes)
The reading will be followed by a moderated discussion with an interdisciplinary group of practitioners from arts & culture, education, human rights, environmental justice, African narratives, and Indigenous knowledge. The discussion will explore resonance, language, imagery, messaging, and other dramaturgical aspects of the play. We will also explore the components and content of an upcoming educational toolkit, which will accompany the WATA script, making the play accessible for high school teachers and local communities.
