A masterclass workshop exploring both practical and ethical approaches to making theatre from lived experience in community settings.
Much of participatory theatre aims to tell the stories of communities who have been marginalised and amplify hidden stories that aren’t given space in the mainstream media. The term “theatre from lived experience” has become common in the participatory theatre lexicon to describe an approach to making theatre with communities which deals with the real issues in their lives.
In this event we will explore creative exercises which support the process of making theatre from lived experience; and the ethics of this practice. Attendees will be introduced to approaches used by the Collective Encounters team in their participatory projects.
Held: Online, 12 March, 10am – 1pm.
