This week we have our first international guest as Louie speaks to  activist, director, writer, actor, aerialist, change maker and enabler Rosa Stourac McCreery who is all the way in Canada.

Our conversation takes us through theatrical forms of Theatre of the Oppressed, community theatre, legislative theatre. Rosa also speaks about her work making theatre for social change with Cardboard Citizens and as a founding member of social enterprise skate park Dynamix.

A fascinating insight into the application of theatre in different cultural and creative settings.
