spark a campus-wide conversation.
On our campus, we are not only
students, but also change agents and leaders.

We are passionate. We are both learners and
teachers. We are diverse in
our identities and experiences

HOW IT ALL STARTED.. . .Awareness through Performance (ATP) first debuted on the UW-L campus in the spring of 2006. With its essence largely rooted in the concept of performance studies, where the message is placed above the delivery, ATP exists as an alternative outlet for social activism on campus. Currently, the Research and Resource Center for Campus Climate supports the development and delivery of 6 performances during the academic year on the UW-L campus.
A new ATP Troupe is carefully selected each semester, and is comprised of approximately 20 students who share a passion for diversity and social justice issues and a desire to further explore the dynamics of how these issues shape our world. Because of their commitment to gaining a greater understanding of the institutional oppressions and “isms” that affect all members of our community, these students come together for an accelerated journey to dialogue, research, reflect, write, and eventually perform real life experiences that touch on topics of racism, sexism, ageism, ableism, classism, heterosexism, gender expression and identity, privilege, hate, cultural differences, and more. Using the stage as their forum for educating, the performers creatively explore, examine and dissect issues that are present in today’s society.
The program you are about to experience was created in just 9 days. It is hoped that by watching this show, audience members will increase their cross-cultural awareness, embrace a journey towards greater understanding, and become committed to tearing down barriers and building more inclusive communities. The performance is designed to begin or continue the dialogue about difficult social issues even after the performance concludes.
ATP is indeed changing the world… one performance at a time.
