FORUM THEATRE
Let's introduce you to Shake Theatre!
Forum Theatre is a technique from The Theatre of the Oppressed, a form theorised by Augusto Boal which places the audience as ‘active spectators’ and provides a chance for each member to be heard.
How does it work?
-
You write us testimonials about a specific theme
-
We rewrite them as theatre scenes
-
We recruit actors fitting the different characters and create a show
-
We perform these scenes based on your true experiences
-
You have time to give your opinion and propose different reactions to change the end of the scene
Shake Theatre will offer you shows like no other: they are made for you, with you and you can change the story’s end. Shake Theatre will listen to your past experiences and adapt them to all types of audience – including schools, charity and corporate organisations; teenagers, adults and a mixture of both!
We can even do it in French if you wish to!
Shake theatre is a wonderful educational tool which can afford people the opportunities to express themselves freely. It is not a debate, there is no right or wrong but it is a safe "bubble" to tackle oppressive societal issues such as racism, sexism, violence or economic inequality.
So don’t be shy! Come with us and together let’s unlock the dialogue and be a part of the Drama!
