1. Participatory Theatre RO
From the ancient Greeks to modern day playwrights, from the comedic to the tragic, the theatre has long served as a place for a society to gather, witness their own conflicts, and reflect upon possible solutions.Participatory Theatre encourages audience interaction and explores different options for dealing with a problem or issue. This is an interactive form to help youth of all backgrounds to understand one another and to confront social issues in a positive and non-violent manner.
Students wrote a drama sketch about a conflict with volunteers as actors, prepare it and then they will present to the whole school.
Steps: information collection, compiling information, scene development, character development, preparation of the performance location, interaction with spectators. And actors (students) trained in participatory theatre can play a useful role as mediators for a community’s exploration.
