What happens when a college theater class becomes the one place where students feel safe enough to be fully themselves?
This episode dives deep into how the arts—especially theater—can offer more than creative expression. In many classrooms, it's become a sanctuary where students explore gender, identity, and self-worth. From fluid pronoun usage to discovering strength through performance, the conversation reveals the quiet power of inclusive education in environments that don’t always support it.
In this episode, you will:
- Discover how theater exercises open students up to self-awareness, even those who never expected it.
- Understand how educators can foster inclusive classrooms without forcing identity conversations.
- Learn how resilience and authenticity are built through student-led exploration and supportive guidance.
Listen now to explore how theater education can be a powerful tool for transformation, identity, and emotional growth—especially in places where it's needed most.
