Overview
"Incidents of sexual assault continue to occur at an alarming rate on college and university campuses across the country. While bystander intervention training is educating students to help prevent this crime from occurring, stories of survivors are still silenced in our classrooms, perpetuating the idea that they are alone in their trauma and need to handle it on their own. Using a theatre storytelling exercise, I developed a workshop to share personal stories of surviving sexual assault and allyship that explored how listening, visualization, and "playing the other" impacts both the individual and the community. Through studying the responses of participants, this paper seeks to show how sharing these stories empowers the individual and builds connections between participants. Participants gain a sense of responsibility to each other and the community, which is an important step in reducing occurrences of interpersonal violence." -- Abstract
