About the event
Anklets in the Boardroom is not your typical theatre project - it's an interactive experience brought to you by Leela - An Indian Community Theatre! Join us at Austin PBS for a unique, powerful and transformative event dedicated to amplifying the voices of South Asian women's experiences of discrimination in the workplace. Step into a world where stories transform into catalysts for change.
Experience Interactive Theatre:
Immerse yourself in the captivating world of Augusto Boal's Theatre of the Oppressed, where storytelling becomes a tool for empowerment. Witness poignant narratives from the community brought to life on stage, and engage directly in the somatics of power as you step into the shoes of change agents within these compelling stories.
What to Expect:
🔹 Authentic Stories: Hear firsthand the experiences of South Asian women navigating discrimination in the workplace, shared with raw honesty and vulnerability.
🔹 Interactive Engagement: Participate in thought-provoking discussions and activities that invite you to reflect on power dynamics and explore pathways to change.
🔹 Healing Atmosphere: Be enveloped in a supportive and empathetic environment, where empathy and understanding pave the way for healing and empowerment.
This is not just an event—it's a movement towards empowerment, awareness, and healing. Your presence is not just appreciated, it's essential.
Share an evening of insights, empathy, and collective healing with us as we amplify the voices of South Asian women in the workplace. Let's stand together and make a difference! Together, let's create a brighter, more inclusive future.
