Description
Covid Waarheid: Covid Truths was the Sex Worker Theatre Group SA’s third production that formed part of the four-year GlobalGrace (Global Gender and Cultures of Equality) research project that investigates the variety of ways that equalities are made and contested in different parts of the world and how people’s creative practices challenge inequality and engender new possibilities for more equitable ways of living together. The project comprised five work packages from around the world that employed arts-based practices and multi-sensory research to investigate the production of cultures of equality and enable gender-positive approaches to well-being internationally. The South African work package engaged collaboration between the CTDPS, the AGI (African. Gender Institute) and SWEAT (Sex Workers Education and Advocacy Taskforce) and involved training sex workers in various theatre and performance practices. The training was divided into five clusters, four culminating in a performance. Covid Waarheid: Covid Truths was a play reading that culminated the training in Spoken Word and writing from the self methodologies.
