The ACT OUT Ensemble
The ACT OUT Ensemble, made up of professional actors, is a nationally recognized social issue theatre troupe, performing original work based on social, health and educational issues. Topics of ACT OUT performances have included alcohol and drug abuse, diversity and tolerance, domestic violence and child abuse, conflict resolution, date rape and sexual assault among others.
The Ensemble performs in classrooms, residence halls, lecture halls and corporate settings across the country. Audiences have included students, colleges, conferences, law enforcement, community members and businesses. Since its inception in 1995, the ACT OUT Ensemble has performed for over 300,000 audience members nationwide.
Kerry Hyatt Blomquist
Kerry Hyatt Blomquist is the Legal Counsel for the Indiana Coalition against Domestic Violence. She has spearheaded the fight against family abuse statewide.
Blomquist represents domestic violence survivors in emergency hearings, provides expert testimony in criminal and civil cases, trains law enforcement recruits and speaks statewide on the impact of family violence on the legal, health care and social service system. Blomquist founded the state’s only domestic violence legal education program at the IU McKinney School of Law.
TARGET AUDIENCE
Law Enforcement, Probation, Health and Human Services, Teachers, Counselors, Mental Health Providers, Prosecutors, Judges, Social Workers, Victim Advocates and Prevention Coordinators
PURPOSE
Social issue theatre engages, educates and entertains. It makes tough issues comprehensible while establishing a link between art and conversation. Through live theatre, audiences are allowed to imagine, empathize and participate.
AGENDA
The ACT OUT Ensemble will be providing multiple domestic violence scenarios. These scenarios will take you into issues law enforcement and social service providers may encounter when dealing with domestic violence victims. Working through these scenarios together will enhance our collaborative response.
Kerry Hyatt Blomquist will present the “10 Laws Every DV Advocate Should Knowâ€. This is critical information for service providers who work directly with survivors of abuse. In this segment you will get the important laws ranging from paternity and confidentiality (and everything in between), recent legal updates and how best to respond when you, as an advocate, see a conflict. This training will also assist in developing best practices for service providers who work to assert legal rights and remedies available to survivors.
