Fee
This year, as part of Drama Box’s community centred approach, we’re exploring an equitable pricing model. We hope the tiered pricing makes these workshops accessible to people with different financial means while allowing us to sustain our work and practice.
You are encouraged to choose a tier that you can comfortably contribute to, even during the early bird period.
Till 2 May 2025- Early bird: $300
- Standard: $360
- Supporter: $420 (for those with greater financial means — helps subsidise the community tier)
- Community: $300 (for those in need of a subsidised rate)
In a world that feels increasingly polarised, the work of a facilitator can often feel heavy, even impossible. How do we guide conversations across differences? How do we hold space with care, while also challenging what needs to be questioned?
Led by Kok Heng Leun, this two-day workshop invites participants to go beyond the techniques — and into the heart of facilitation as a critical, reflexive, and deeply human practice.
Using drama techniques and collective reflection, this workshop will help participants cultivate core skills such as:
- Practicing Critical Pedagogy
- Listening with empathy and openness
- Asking questions that spark critical insight
- Creating spaces that nurture meaningful, reflective learning
Who should attend this workshop?
If you are a facilitator, arts educator, theatre practitioner, or someone who works with communities or dialogue-based learning, this workshop is for you. Please note the prerequisite mentioned above before registering.
