Teilnehmer_innen gesucht Theaterprojekt / Participants wanted theater project

Loesje Berlin is looking for participants living in Germany, to attend the training course "Community builing, awarnessraising and social inclusion through forum theatre" (C.A.S.T) in Kalamata, Greece 4-11th of November 

During the training course we would like to explore how Forum Theatre can be used  in  Youth  Work  as  a  tool  for  building  a  sense  of  community,  raising awareness  on  current  issues,  promoting  solidarity  and  social  inclusion,  and giving  the  motivation  and  will  to  the  young  people  to  become  more  active citizens  and,  as  Boal  himself  said,  “build  their  own  future,  rather  than  just waiting for it”.

What is forum theatre?

Forum theatre was developed in the early 1970's by Brazilian director Augusto Boal. Boal believed that theatre could serve as a forum for teaching people the strategies they needed to change their world.

The main concept of forum theatre is that the concept of power is present in all interactions, exchanges and social arrangements.   Boal   posits   a   basic   tension   between   the   'oppressed'   and 'oppressor'.

In  Forum  theatre  these tensions  are  examined, challenged  and altered as a method of rehearsing difficult situations/ problems in advance - to understand how different strategies might be used in deal with complex social situations. The goal of forum theatre is to make people more aware of some problems that they may have not considered previously. Forum theatre scenarios are designed to stimulate audience participation through discussion, interactive role-playing and shared experiences

OBJECTIVES:      

• To   introduce   the   participants   to   Forum Theatre and explore how it can be used as a tool in Youth Work
• To map the challenges youth are facing and the ways that youth work, using different tools, can empower the young people in order to overcome them
• To   promote  the   exchange   of   best   practices   and   the   transfer  of innovation
• To develop competences in setting up activities for young people from marginalized communities and analyze the challenges they face in their everyday work with youth with fewer opportunities.
