Resources for Social Change

Resources for Social Change (RSC) is a training program developed by ROOTS that teaches ideas and techniques to create social change through art. This program began in recognition of the need to institutionalize ROOTS’ knowledge in the field.

Tutorials

This is a growing collection of technical tutorials for the site.  It is meant to help you navigate through the different resources on the site, and serve as an active learning tool for navigating the web and this site.

This new website doesn't only serve as a place to give people who come on the site information.  It is also a tool with the ability to connect ROOTS members in a way that is unprecedented for this organization, but the tools is only useful if used.  As time goes by, this set of tutorials will serve as a drivers manual. 

Introducing our Members...

Robert H. Leonard

I am a stage director, arts and community cultural development organizer, and teacher. I work in conventional theater spaces and in "found" , indoors and out. I direct written scripts and I develop new work through collaborative processes. I am interested in plays that engage in direct audience interaction and that offer contributions to relevant public dialogues in the communities of the play's production. I am on the CAPP/RSC WorkGroup and am an RSC trainer. I am director of the MFA in Theatre at Virginia Tech, where I teach the MFA programs in Stage Management, and in Directing and Public Dialogue.
