Forum
Theatre
Forum theatre is
the interactive staging, by actors, of particular scenarios
in front of an audience who are then invited to analyse what
they’ve seen, give feedback and coach characters in
presentation and conduct.
The scene is then replayed putting the audience’s suggestions
into action to achieve a successful outcome.
Forum theatre is a particularly effective way of raising
controversial issues in a non-confrontational manner and
allowing individuals to identify and solve problems
themselves. An excellent way to train staff in many areas
including customer service, health and safety, managerial
tasks etc, it also builds confidence and is an enjoyable and
rewarding experience for the participants.
