Setlist from "Exercising Our Voices & Bodies Toward Liberation" from Let's Get Free (7/1/23)

Greetings!

If you're reading this you might have attended the "Exercising Our Voices & Bodies Toward Liberation: Call & Response Community Singing & Theater of the Oppressed" workshop at the Saturday, July 1, Let's Get Free Together series of Education for Liberation MN in St. Paul, Minnesota.

Here is a list of songs we sang with links to online recordings and related resources.

Songs

• I did not come here alone (The Peace Poets)
• Welcome to the chaos (clb) - the link is to the original.  We substituted "chaos" for 'table' and "be free" for 'to the feast'.
• Which Side Are you On/We're on the Freedom Side (Florence Reece, 1931) - be sure to watch the whole 8 minute video to hear both the original version and the BLM update with "We're on the freedom side" response (c. 5:00). More videos of Pete Seeger, Ani DiFranco.
• Healing is Possible (Orion Johnstone)
• Our Liberation (Peace Poets) - studio version featuring Carami Hilaire

Resources

• Theater of the Oppressed (Augusto Boal) - read a succinct summary on Center for Applied Theater's website
• We Rise: A Movement Songbook, compiled by the Poor People's Campaign.  
• Full Voice: Five Elements of the Voice - the opening vocal exploration with the shruti box (shrutibox.com) is based on this work.  

Please be in touch if you would like to have Good Trouble lead a workshop like this for your community or if you have questions or comments from our time together!
