APPLIED THEATRE - JAMES THOMPSON KARTONIERT (TB)

Applied Theatre: Bewilderment and Beyond explores the practice of theatre in communities and
social institutions with marginalised groups. It shifts between contexts and countries to
examine different ways that theatre has been applied to a wide range of social issues. Theatre
projects in Brazil  Burkina Faso  Sri Lanka and the United Kingdom are analysed to argue for a
complex and questioning view of the practice. Initiatives in prisons  developing countries  war
situations and participatory research projects become the sites to interrogate the claims that
applied theatre can be a theatre for social change. Many practitioners and researchers have
witnessed powerful applied theatre projects but nonetheless struggled to articulate the reasons
for the projects' success. This book uses the questions inspired by that perplexity to create a
case for applied theatre as a major area of contemporary theatre practice.
