Forum theatre begins with a short performance which focuses on a social issue, racism in our case. The specificity of this type of theatre is that it allows the spectators to collaborate in the experience by becoming ‘spect-actors’ (the audiences who participate in the actual performance). Through a moderator (Nyan Storey) and a group of actively engaged spectators and actors, Forum Theatre embodies dialogues, exchanges, learning, teaching, and fun. At the conclusion, the play will begin again with the audience being able to replace or add to the characters on stage to present their interventions; alternate solutions to the problems faced.
...YOU WERE THE TARGET OF RACISM AND/OR DISCRIMINATION ?
