Making Theatre from Lived Experience – Masterclass

About this event:

Much of participatory theatre aims to tell the stories of communities who have been marginalised and amplify hidden stories that aren’t given space in the mainstream media.

The term “theatre from lived experience” has become common in the participatory theatre lexicon to describe an approach to making theatre with communities which deals with the real issues in their lives.

In this event we will explore creative exercises which support the process of making theatre from lived experience; and the ethics of this practice. Attendees will be introduced to approaches used by the Collective Encounters team in our participatory projects.

This training will be delivered by Michelle Richards (Associate Artist) and Marianne Matusz (Co-Artistic Director).

Online Event: This training will take place online using Zoom. You will receive an email with the link.
