Combating Global Narratives by Ashley Hajimirsadeghi

WIT journal: In a world filled with anxiety and fear due to the ongoing pandemic, as theatres remained shuttered and the future seemed uncertain, a group of women from all over the world started an online project. These women met virtually during the League of Professional Theatre Women’s Gilder/Coigney International Theatre Award 2020 event week. Initiated and developed by New Perspectives Theatre Company, Theatre from the Streets was launched in August 2021. This program’s goal was to reach a global community and combat biased narratives created by media and politics.
