Lo Wah Kiu (Workshop) / 老華僑劇場（系列工作坊).

Join for a participatory #theatre #workshop inspired by the work of #DowntownEastside #documentarian and organiser Sid Chow Tan! From organizing with the #Chinese #HeadTax and #ExclusionRedress movement to documenting countless actions against #gentrification and #displacement - Sid’s #art of #activism captured a spirit of class-consciousness, humour, and #solidarity. His vast archive depicts four decades of the struggles, victories, celebrations, and everyday lives of #DTES and #Chinatown communities and organisers. In these introductory workshops, participants will be introduced to theatre techniques that will connect themes from the Sid Tan archives to our lives and neighbourhood issues today.

Please note, these workshops are 3 hours long.

Free admission and no theatre experience necessary! Pre-registration required. Refreshments will be served. #Cantonese and #Mandarin interpretation will be provided. These workshops are presented with gratitude and in solidarity with the many friends, organisers, community television volunteers and staff who made possible the production, broadcast, and archive of Sid’s videos.

Saturday, November 8th, 4pm-7pm.
401 Main Street, #VancouverBC.

Some of the specific technologies mentioned go over my head, but I'm very much here for the engineering ideology.
