This workshop offers training in Theatre of the Oppressed, with a focus on understanding and creating Forum Theatre.  The workshop will cover group facilitation techniques, structuring a Theatre of the Oppressed workshop, and devising Forum Theatre.

This is a practical workshop, the games and exercises in the workshop can be used with any group.

Forum Theatre is an interactive, problem-solving model.  Performances are devised from collective experience around a specific social issue. The audience are invited to engage in the search for a new approach to the problem, by taking part in re-imagining the story.

The workshop is open to activists, people working in community contexts, and anyone interested in creating theatre for social change.

4elements are pleased to announce that the Daughters of the Revolution post-show discussions are now available!

Daughters of the Revolution is an experiment in using art and performance to shape a public response to the crisis in the Irish maternity services.

4elements has extended the conversation through a series of chaired post-show discussions between a panel of experts and the audience.
