In this episode, Heather joins us to speak about how theatre has the capacity for social change. Using the pedagogy of the Theater of the Oppressed, Heather dives into her work with theatre laboratories to address issues such as home(less)ness. In this conversation, we discuss the perpetual challenge of an artist trying to survive in a gig economy for artists that feeds into the employment and housing precarity that has become endemic within the arts sector.
