Overview
"Since the worldwide shutdown of in-person learning in March of 2020, students have been finding it difficult to navigate their way back to "normal life". As a 2020 college graduate myself, I have been witness to the social emotional detriment caused by isolation. For my Thesis Project, I facilitated a five week workshop with eight college students- four undergraduate students and four graduate students. In this workshop, using an Applied Theatre lens, together we explored the potential social emotional impact COVID-19 had on us as a generation. I invited them to participate in theatre based activities, warm ups and exercises. At the end of five weeks we collectively put together a devised piece to demonstrate some of the impact that COVID-19 had, and is currently still having, on college aged students. This paper examines the themes of the project and research behind the social emotional impact of COVID-19." -- Abstract
