Abstract
Graduate supervision profoundly impacts graduate student, faculty, and staff wellbeing. Tensions within supervisory relationships are further complicated by equity and inclusion related barriers facing marginalized communities within academia. To address this situation, we created Rock the Boat, an open access educational resource that uses Research-based Theatre to provoke dialogue about supervisory relationships. Rock the Boat includes four professionally acted scenes plus a facilitator’s guide and supplementary resources. Our online piloting process supports the effectiveness of Rock the Boat in generating dialogue and enhancing perspective-taking, empathy, and reflective practice among participants. This paper offers a narrative review of the process of creating Rock the Boat, detailing many decisions made during the transition from live theatre workshops to film and online discussion.

Résumé
Les tensions au sein des relations de supervision sont complexifiées par les obstacles liés à l’équité et à l’inclusion et ont une influence profonde sur le bien-être de tous. Pour répondre à cette situation, nous avons créé Rock the Boat, une ressource éducative en libre accès qui utilise le théâtre basé sur la recherche pour susciter le dialogue autour des relations de supervision. Notre processus de mise à l’essai en ligne soutient l’efficacité de cette ressource pour générer des dialogues et favoriser la prise de perspective, l’empathie et la réflexion critique chez les participant·e·s. Cet article détaille les nombreuses décisions prises lors de la transition des ateliers de théâtre en présentiel vers le format filmé et la discussion en ligne.
