About the Course
This session is about unpacking what we mean by sexism and misogyny in today’s society and how it plays out in our lives. We will then hone in on what this means for the performing arts using practical examples, and will explore how we can cultivate curiosity with the world around us, empathy for the situation of others, and a strong sense of our own integrity. The session concludes by considering what we can individually and collectively do to drive positive change to challenge sexism and misogyny within the arts.
