FORUM THEATRE TRAINING

November 12th - 16th 2012

Cardiff

‘A real understanding of the benefits for an audience and how, when led

properly, effective Forum Theatre can be to empower people.’

- Participant 2009

Led by Tony McBride, Director of Projects, Cardboard Citizens  

Throughout this intensive weeklong course, participants will investigate the theory

and practice of Forum Theatre. A number of simple games and exercises centred on

trust, confidence and group integration will be introduced enabling participants to

lead workshop sessions within their own group or communities.

Participants will look at how to devise a Forum Theatre piece and how to conduct a

public Forum session.

Reference will also be made to Legislative Theatre practice. Legislative Theatre is a

method in which Forum Theatre is used as a basis for the formulation of policy, rules

or legislation, in any body from school to government.

Who is it for?

Anyone interested in using theatre as a tool for debate and social change with

communities; theatre practitioners, social activists, teachers, community workers,

youth workers. No experience necessary.
