Creating Caring Spaces: Bridging Conversations Through Theatre
24 Apr 2024
11.00 AM - 12.30 PM
Zoom
Alumni, Current Students, Industry/Academic Partners, Prospective Students, Public
This talk dives into the idea of care ethics, a way of thinking that puts empathy and compassion at the heart of our interactions. We'll explore how this can be applied to rehearsals, creating a space where everyone involved (actors, directors, the whole crew) feels valued and can do their best work. This translates to how we interact with the audience as well, especially in the context of creating safe spaces for potentially sensitive topics as well as using theatre forms such as forum theatre, which engages the audience in more interactive ways.
