Workshops For High Schoolers

The Living Awareness Institute offers a number of workshops for high-schoolers. All workshops are highly interactive and tend to get great reviews from both students and teachers. Below is a partial list of what the LAI offers. We often create custom workshops, so if you have an idea for a workshop that isn't listed below, please send us a proposal.

  • Using Interactive Theater to Create Social Change

    A dynamic class focusing on themes students find important, this workshop presents skills and techniques for using theater as a means to create real social change. Great for drama students and student activists.

  • Exploring Leadership, Power, and Consensus

    A fun and challenging workshop focusing on understanding the mechanisms of power in our society and how to be a successful leader and/or follower. Focus is on creating a shared-power culture, improving leadership and democracy skills, and having fun. This course is great for ASB and IB students.

    This course introduces and provides first-hand experiences of drama therapy, playback theater, and Theater of the Oppressed. It's designed for drama students and students interested in pursuing a theater degree/career.

  • Forum Theater

    A workshop wherein students identify key issues they'd like to change, write brief scripts illustrating the problem, and then use forum theater to solve the problem.

  • Invisible Theater

    Students create and perform an invisible theater piece somewhere in their school. Workshop includes warm ups, coaching, and support for the "action."
