Mirror Image Arts & LCJP get Advanced!
On February 1st, Mirror Image Arts (MIA) Trainer Maya Osterman brought an innovative theatre-based, community-building workshop to LCJP Volunteers and Staff as part of the Advanced Skills Training Day.
Through the MIA workshop, LCJP practiced sharing personal stories and how we can embody empathy for each other. And woven through this all was the theme of surfacing bias in order to engage as an inclusive community.
Mirror Image Arts provides theatre-based socio-emotional education for youth and adults, and specializes in working with incarcerated youth.
LCJP Staff and Volunteers with Maya Osterman from Mirror Image Arts - a great day together!
No words are needed as participants pose in a still-life of a real moment from someone’s life, creating a still and silent gallery for others to walk through and interpret.
Another still scene being set for people to walk-through. These scenes are a way for people to empathize with another person’s experience without requiring that person to inform the whole group.
