is a collaborative project of the Laboratory for Global Performance and Politics, Georgetown University’s Democracy & Governance program, and Patrick Henry College.  Our mission is to employ techniques rooted in theatrical performance to bring students of diverse social, cultural, and religious backgrounds into deep, challenging, and mutually respectful dialogue with one another to promote mutual understanding and empathy.  Moving beyond the political divide, In Your Shoes shines a deeper light on the hopes, fears, and dreams that animate the daily lives of the students. Using The Lab's signature "Performing One Another" methodology which has been developed across the world, it suggests wider possibilities for a more profound grasp of what it means to create community and trust in challenging times.
