Project Description
With support from the California Arts Council, Teatro Jornalero Sin Fronteras in collaboration with USC Professor Brent Blair, together with his students, will create a collaborative experience for members of the day laborer community, domestic workers, immigrants in general to be invited to participate in a series of workshops based on the technique of the theater of the oppressed and theater forum, exploring the challenges of survival in general that immigrants have day to day in this city.
Organization Summary
Since fall of 2008, the ten-member troupe has developed fifteen short plays examining social justice issues such as worker and immigrant rights, building healthy families and workplaces, and exploring the creation of transnational cultures. TJSF performs its plays at sites where day laborers gather, mainly the 14 day labor centers supported by the City of Los Angeles. During the last year Teatro Jornalero Sin Fronteras has expanded its work to both Northern California and El Salvador.
We believe society can flourish when its members know and respect one another.
