We Speak We Stand: Orientation Performance and Discussion
We Speak We Stand Performance:

WE Speak WE Stand is two sections of monologues written and performed by Wesleyan students addressing sexual violence and alcohol use.  These peer theater pieces are a powerful introduction to sexual violence and alcohol use on campus and aim to create a campus that is actively engaged in the prevention of sexual assault and relationship violence and advocates for the responsible use of alcohol.

These skits are performed as "reader's theater," where the performers carry a script to refer to rather than fully memorizing them. Performers are encouraged to be familiar enough with the material that they do not need to read from their script verbatim. The setting is very minimal and no costumes are worn, allowing audience members to use their imaginations to fill in details, based on what they are hearing.

Students will also receive a $250 stipend to be processed after the performance.  

**IF FALL 2021 ORIENTATION IS VIRTUAL, Schedule requirements will be as follows below:"
Skits will be performed virtually individually by each actor. There will be two dates for virtual rehearsals: Wednesday July 21st and Thursday July 22nd from 10 am - 4 pm. Actors will then have the flexibility to record their own performance by July 31st and share the recordings with WesWell & SHAPE Offices. The recordings will then be uploaded and distributed through WesNest in collaboration with SALD.

**IF FALL 2021 ORIENTATION IS IN-PERSON, Schedule requirements will be as follows below:**
