Reflect & Resist Series: Exploring Anti-Black Racism through Live Actor Simulations

The Reflect and Resist: Exploring Anti-Black Racism through Live Actor Simulations workshop series uses Live Actor Simulation at Ryerson's simulation 207: Fallout After Violence, to share one character’s perspective on what it is to be a Black man navigating the world. Attendees interacted with the character to further explore the issue of anti-Black racism and its effects beyond mainstream conversations. 

In the second installment of the series participants dove deeper into understanding how anti-Black racism can be addressed in the classroom and how to approach this crucial discussion (and other critical topics) through live actor simulation. Participants left the series with a deeper understanding of how live actor simulation can be a valuable tool for advancing critical discussions, while bringing learning to life.

The Speakers: 

• Geoff Kolomayz, Trainer, Live Actor Simulation 
• Katherine Turner, Trainer/Writer/Facilitator, Live Actor Simulation 
• Guest Facilitator, Karen Arthurton, Contract Lecturer, School Social Work
• With an introduction by Anita Abraham, Director, Experiential Learning
