Legislative Theatre - Examples of good practice - Legislative Theatre on New York City policy and Ci

Theatre of the Oppressed NYC (TONYC) organized Legislative theatre events and festivals between 2013 and 2017 where several topics have been discussed: tackling homelessness due to sexual orientation, racial profiling of police and bystander effect, zero tolerance to offence of high-school students and others. They defined the process in three segments: WATCH, ACT and VOTE. With the goal to shape sustainable activities within NYC community TONYC added activism workshops to the process of legislative theatre that includes training on community organizing, participatory budgeting and information-based sessions.
