Unhinged Collaboraton Podcast, 2024
“Amanda is an inspiration to me and many others that meet and interact with her. For her class, we devised and performed various social activism pieces. We worked with organizations on and off campus to make these projects happen. We were put into real world scenarios of how to use theatre for justice. We were able to learn about our community through using performance, devising, and group discussion. This was the best learning opportunity, thank you Dr AR!”

“Understanding cultural differences and how to interact with people who come from different backgrounds is a vastly important skill in our line of work. Further it is a skill our leaders are not equipped to teach, despite its importance. Using Theatre to teach. this was so much more effective than we expected. Thank you for your expertise and helping our teams prepare to travel abroad. I hope you will be open to working with us again in the future!”

“I am inspired by the work you developed with the actors who had no previous experience with Intimacy choreography or intimacy education. Your willingness to dive in as soon as you arrived in town is unprecedented. We need your expertise here at Cal State Fullerton, and our Women of Zalongo script development project was fortunate to be the first of many productions to come where we can include your work and your intimacy expertise!”
