  Marc has been a professional educator, artist, activist, and workshop facilitator since 1980 having extensive experience with both adults and youth. Formerly Co-Artistic Director of the Seattle Public Theatre, Marc is an internationally recognized leader in the use of Augusto Boal’s ground breaking Theater of the Oppressed (T.O.) to stimulate personal and social change. He has worked with diverse communities ranging from police to homeless youth to academics to refugees in Azerbaijan and, in November of 2007, community workers in South Africa. Marc regularly facilitates T.O. based anti-racism and anti-oppression workshops in a wide variety of contexts across the U.S. with a commitment to bringing a deep sense of spirit and humanity into social justice work.
 
    Cheryl Harrison - Associate Artist
  A former member of Seattle Public Theater’s Theater of Liberation Ensemble, Cheryl has been using “Theater of the Oppressed” to address a variety of inter-related “systematic oppression” issues such as racism, classism, nationalism, sexism, domestic violence and sexual assault, etc. since 1994. She works with both youth and adults in a variety of communities. Having led workshops and participated in events for various state, local, national and international organizations for over 20 years, Cheryl is deeply committed to facilitating and encouraging social awareness, change and justice through her use of theater, music and other experiential activities.
