Tim Steckler lives in Brooklyn, New York and is an is an educator, theater artist, and researcher who uses theater and storytelling to promote civic engagement and bridge cultural divides. Tim has facilitated theater workshops in Jordan, Palestine, Germany and the United States.
Our discussion covers, among other things:
*the relationship between politics and theater
*Kentucky and Massachusetts communities bonding over bluegrass and Dominican music
*theater and cinema subject matter successes (expanding racial representation) and failures (neglecting geographic representation)
*insights gained by police and civilian participants in the Brooklyn-based “To Protect, Serve and Understand” community training program at Irondale, which Tim co-facilitated
*searching for “alternatives” or “reconciliation” rather than “solutions” to societal problems
Tim finds hope in the basic human need and ability to create relationships.
