Abstract

At a clinic in Washington, DC, in 1992, theater teacher Michael Rohd led a series of drama workshops with teenagers from a private high school and homeless people with HIV. Together, they explored how to use theater to delve into the impact of HIV and AIDS on all of their lives. Something new and exciting began to take shape: theater based on dialogue and action, theater without answers or resolution, theater committed to the depth and breadth of engagement that becomes possible only when the body and the imagination are involved.
