BEYOND TROLLS & TWINKS: Developing friendships with men of all ages
We live in a time of gigantic and rapid changes. What if our survival depends on the diversity of our friendships – much more than on how much money or stuff we control?
In times of rapid change, two qualities become essential:
1. Creativity and;
2. The ability to create alliances across traditional divisions.
One of the most important and difficult divisions men must learn to bridge is age. Our age stereotypes can crush our ability to even see men, much less get to know them. Younger men can come to trust older men and vice versa, and we all need to be able to relate to men our own age.
In this Playshop you’ll use story-telling, psycho-drama, and guerilla theater to explore, make fun of, and look beyond your age stereotypes. You’ll have the opportunity to really get to know men of all ages – their true gifts, their connections to who you really are.
Imagine having male friends; good friends who are much older than you, much younger, and your own age too? What would you learn about yourself? What would you be able to accomplish?
Friendship is the most powerful institution in our lives – it has the power to vastly expand who we think we are. Developing true, authentic connections with men of all ages is an amazing way to explore who you are and who you can become.
CO-FACILITATORS: Multi-generational team: Drew Gadbois, Youth Outreach Advocate at Janus Youthwork/Outside In/Trans Identity Resource Center; Dan Jones, Guerilla Theater & Youth Group Co-facilitator at Trans Identity Resource Center; Aaron Hornstein, psychotherapist specializing in psychodrama; Jack Cox, longtime AIDS activist/organizer and psychodrama practitioner; Etienne Lilja, actor, youth educator, & street performer.
CO-SPONSORS: MenSpirit is a joint project of two non-profit organizations: Q-LAND & LoveTribe. MenSpirit empowers diverse men in the Portland, OR area to discover and manifest their individual & collective potential for wellness, community, friendship/intimacy, spirituality, & play.
