Description
Applied Theatre: Facilitation Pedagogies, Practices, Resilience by Sheila Preston offers a new theoretical framework for understanding critical facilitation in contemporary settings. This book explores the role and practice of facilitation in different contexts and cultural locations, providing a conceptual approach to pedagogies, practices, and resilience. The author draws on international practitioners and experienced facilitators working in applied theatre and community theatre settings, offering diverse perspectives and case studies from around the world. The book sheds light on the challenges of facilitation in culturally complex spaces, where communities have been disenfranchised socially, culturally, and economically. By examining various aesthetic forms such as performance, process drama, forum, clowning, and playmaking, this publication illuminates the diversity within the field of facilitation in applied theatre.
