Forum Theatre is a theatrical genre and style, encouraging audience participation and spect-actorship, exploring different outcomes for dealing with problems or issues.
The Pen and Paper Forum Theatre model is different, and is centred on an educational approach. It focuses on supporting participants to explore problematic scenarios, and identify different changes they could make to alter the outcomes, however, from a fly-on-the-wall perspective.
Therefore allowing the participant an opportunity to comfortably Explore, Express and Exceed in a safe space from a safe distance.
Ultimately, the students learn about the topic, understand the outcomes from the traditional storyline on the topic, and are empowered to take control of the action, reflecting a real experience they could very well be experiencing. Delivered in a considerate and respectful way as to reduce distress or upset.
