Stage Warriors: Women on the Front Lines of Dangerous Drama (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

The Stage Warriors are women from around the world who use theatre to talk about war, politics, crime, abuse, and violence in nations where these subjects are taboo. The interviews in this book explain how these women came to use theatre to enact change, who they help, and the importance of their work. Beyond the boundaries of poverty, religion, and intolerance, these women use theatre to broaden citizen participation, bring focus and energy, and reshape national identity. Through the shows and workshops they create, the Warriors are finding ways to help the disenfranchised exert power in education, politics, the economy, and the home. The Stage Warriors have faced stiff resistance. Some have seen their offices consumed in flames. Others have found their cars destroyed. Still others have been physically assaulted. Yet nothing stops these women from making a space where their voices can be heard. These theatre practitioners display the resourcefulness, strength, and promise that characterize women across the globe who are steadily bringing stability and justice to conflicted regions.
