The Forum
Objective: To encourage participants to articulate opinions in discussing the issues portrayed in the play performance
Activity:
Following the performance the facilitator will engage the players and spect-actors in exercises
where they explore the situation, identify the different aspects of the issue/s portrayed in the play.
Ask spect-actors
- What did you see?
- What you would do differently, and why?
- How would you do it?
The construction of a shared group experience provides a non-threatening environment allowing participants
to openly reflect on their experiences.
Facilitator Tips:
The interactive discussion of the issues depicted in the play, can also include issues not explicitly referred
to in the play, but emerging from the discussion itself. This enables the participants to observe their experiences objectively.
The facilitator is not the keeper of the truth. People are the experts of their lives.
The facilitator's job is to ensure that participants have the opportunity to express themselves
and to act out and to show what they are capable of.
