ACTive INquiry Workshops
Devising Forum Theatre
This 2 day workshop will explore devising a piece of Forum Theatre from scratch with a group. It will explore identifying and tracking oppressions, using image as a starting point for Forum, the dramaturgy of Forum Theatre, characterisation and rehearsal techniques. No previous experience is required for this workshop
The Art of the Joker
This 2 day workshop will explore how to successfully Joker a piece of Forum Theatre. What does the Joker do before, during and after a piece of Forum? What is their relationship with the actors and the audience? What questions should they be asking? What do they do if no one wants to come up on stage?!
It will be expected that participants have a good general knowledge of Forum Theatre before attending this workshop or that they have attended Devising Forum Theatre.
