Overview

"This thesis discusses the intersections of theory and practice in applied theatre through an analysis of effective applied theatre projects, a review of literature, and the author's interpretation of her own professional experiences. The deliberate combination of theory and practice also explores some ways that devising theatre can promote a broader understanding of individual identity within the complex structures of oppression. The central question is: what are the benefits and challenges of using applied theatre techniques, teaching and learning theories, and reflective and reflexive praxis to devise plays with and for young people to explore self- expression, self-awareness, and advocacy? Points considered are youth as a population, how people learn, the role of the facilitator, how organizational goals can affect a creative process, and different schools of thought on community building." -- Abstract
