Clapback Workshops
FAWK hosts skill-building workshops designed to empower diverse and marginalized voices to combat microaggressions, racism, and discrimination.
The artistic goals for the workshops are:
To improve participants’ abilities to create and participate in a performance/theatrical piece to tell their story. We believe that everyone is capable of being creative and artistic. Our job is to provide the tools, resources, community, and encouragement for participants to heighten their skills.
To help participants increase their knowledge or gain a better understanding of performing comedy and improvised work.
To help participants gain a better understanding of “microaggressions” and how to use performance art to address them.
Our previous clients include Hennepin County District Court, State of Minnesota Department of Human Services, Saint Paul Public Schools, University of California San Diego, Fresno State University, Central California Asian Pacific Women, Augsburg University, University of Minnesota, MAASU (Midwest Asian American Student Union), University of Minnesota Duluth, Metropolitan State University, Overcoming Racism Conference, and more!
