I just completed the Theatre for Social Change course at Stanmore School of Business, and I'm blown away by the experience! As a theatre enthusiast from the United States, I was eager to learn how to harness the power of performance to drive social change. The course exceeded my expectations in every way. The instructors were knowledgeable and passionate, and the course materials were thoughtfully curated to provide a comprehensive understanding of the subject. I particularly appreciated the practical exercises and group projects, which helped me develop valuable skills in playwriting, directing, and community engagement. One of the most impactful experiences was creating a short play that addressed a social issue relevant to my community. The course taught me how to craft compelling narratives, build alliances with local organizations, and facilitate meaningful discussions. I feel empowered to use theatre as a tool for social change, and I'm excited to apply the skills and knowledge I gained to make a positive impact in my community. The course was engaging, informative, and inspiring – I highly recommend it to anyone interested in using theatre to drive social change!

I took the Theatre for Social Change course at Stanmore School of Business, and it was a really valuable learning experience. As someone from Egypt, I was interested in exploring how theatre can be used to address social issues in my region. The course provided a solid introduction to the key concepts and principles of theatre for social change, and I appreciated the diversity of perspectives and examples presented. The instructors were supportive and encouraging, and the online discussions were lively and thought-provoking. One of the highlights of the course was learning about the work of theatre companies and artists who are using performance to promote social justice and human rights. I was inspired by their creativity, courage, and commitment to creating positive change. While there were some areas where I felt the course could be improved – such as more opportunities for peer feedback and collaboration – overall, I found the course to be well-structured, informative, and engaging. I would recommend it to anyone looking to learn more about the intersection of theatre and social change.
